This line from Home Improvement has stuck with me ever since I heard it. Tim Allen was my “TV Dad” growing up, for reasons I still don’t fully understand, his voice landed in a way that others didn’t.

Whatever the reason, that quote became one of my personal rules. It’s simple, but it cuts deep: if someone’s trusting you with their time or their money, you owe them your best. Show up. Do the job. Take pride in the work—even if it’s not glamorous.
