George Kao advises solopreneurs to prioritize consistent daily "showing up" and joyful productivity over attachment to outcomes. He argues that following a schedule and embodying values day after day naturally develops skills and improves results, even when one remains unattached to specific outcomes.
I don't care about my results. I care much more about whether I showed up consistently today, according to my plans, with as much joyful productivity as possible. And this is different or opposite of how many solopreneurs do it. They attach themselves to the results, the goals that they set in their minds so much that they might even feel behind, embarrassed for what they are supposed to have achieved by this point, maybe even discouraged. But yet they're not consistently show up based on their plans. So instead, show up for your plans. Publish consistently, no matter what the results are, knowing that if you keep doing this day after day, embodying your values as much as you can, your skills naturally develop and the results naturally get better. So again, unattached to results, but attached to your schedule for the day.
