Fear of failure is a tough thing to have, because it means your at the fork in the road.

On one side, there is the goal. It's the side of the fork you want to take. But then, when there is the fear of failure, it drives people to go to the other side, where they give up, or never even get started. The funny thing is, going to the side of giving up is immediately bringing to life what the person feared all along - failure.

The only chance to keep that fear from being a reality is to take the tough road and follow through, which you already are.

I know how it is to not be able to shake the fear though. I've been going through it myself. I wasn't able to shake it. So I redirected it. My fiance and I are working on getting a business of the ground right now. At first I didn't like the idea of it at all purely because of the potential of failure. But I decided to try to make myself feel fear of not trying my very best to make this happen. Fear of quitting again. Sort of redirect my perspective of the fear. Now all my fear of failure is gone. Once we get off the ground, if we fail we will be losing a lot of money. But I'm not afraid of that anymore. I'm actually looking forward to being the me that didn't give up and tried my best without being afraid of the end result.

If you can, try to be excited for the end result, not afraid. Being afraid of something in the future is assuming that your fear ( in this case of failure) could be part of the future. But you don't know that, so you can choose how to look forward to the future. Try to work on looking forward to the future with excitement and anticipation, not fear and worry. If you can.
