Thoughts on starting home craft business?

Question

recently i was finally inspired to go foward with the idea of starting a craft business. i have always been artistictly inclined, and i also recently noticed that i cannot go on forever working a regular 9-5 job as i do now. i need to be able to be creative. right now im researching like crazy ,reading every article on it that i can find.

simply put tho. im kinda scared. of failing,or not being able to get ppl to buy from me ect.

what i am asking is for you to give me any advice you can on starting a home craft business.

i havent narrowed down which crafts ill actually sell. i do all kinds just for fun
