How do you feel about pursuing your dream job? Good, yes/no?
What if you fail? What if you hate it? What if you can't make enough money to support yourself? These are all reasonable concerns, but it IS possible to go on without getting too bogged down in insecurity.
Preparation is a good strategy for coping with fear of failure. If you're worried about quitting your present job to try something different, prepare yourself for it. Experts recommend that you save up enough money to live salary-free for at least six months, but if possible, save up a year's salary. Create a "plan B" in case your dream job doesn't work out, even if this means contracting or even looking for job opportunities in a family business.
Accept that there is an element of fear in everything you do, but it's the way you control it that makes your success. Remember you're taking positive steps to make your favorite activity your dream job and there may be some bumps along the way.
