“The last ten percent is the signal we look for, the way we communicate care and expertise and professionalism.

The hard part is the last ten percent, sure, or even the last one percent, but it’s the hard part because everyone is busy doing the easy part already. The secret is to seek out the work that most people believe isn’t worth the effort. That’s what you get paid for.”
