Trust me when I say that this is all fear. Multiple times I have uprooted family despite all discomfort, odds, safety nets, etc. to pursue a passion. First it was moving out of state to attend graduate school. Second, it was leaving a 6 figure career to pursue my dream. Downsizing was necessary. I had to question my values about money, things, accumulation, happiness. NEVER sell yourself short. If you are passionate you will find a way. Check out these guys. They have a great book and a movie. http://www.theminimalists.com/ http://www.theminimalists.com/

There is no assurance that your bold venture will succeed, despite your planning, ambition, etc. And if it was all but certain, it wouldn't be very bold, it'd just be common sense.
