Stumped on career

My daughter will be going into school full time soon, so I’d like to start focusing on myself and what I’d like to do for work. I’ve got the ball rolling to start a dog grooming business, started an online course on it, but I’m always questioning whether I’d be good at it… whether I’d be good at anything really. Sometimes I think I’d like to be in teaching or midwifery… but I’m so unsure of myself😞 Has anyone else felt like this?? How did others find what they enjoy and are good at? How did you become self-assured?

Anything that requires skill requires time and practice. If you’re not good at it it doesn’t matter, if you like it then you should keep at it until you’re good :) if you don’t like it, it might be because you’re not skilled enough. So work hard at it for a few months and practice a ton and then you’ll know if it is for you! Just because a few bad things happen doesn’t mean you’re not meant to do it. You’ve got this
