Launching a businessis scary, and sometimes running one is even scarier. That's why we asked six seasoned founders: What piece ofentrepreneurshipstill terrifies you, and how do you face it?

1. The money man

"I'm petrified of my accountant. Coming from a creative background, I've long managed to avoid dealing with finances. Now as CEO of a denim brand, I have to manage P&L statements and ensure that we are optimized at every level. Setting a standing appointment with my accountant every two weeks has made it a little less intimidating. Plus, every morning I check the previous day's sales so we can actively adjust spend in real time and make smarterdecisions."
