"He who tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who looks after his master will be honored." (Proverbs 27:18)
This is a teaching about diligent effort. If you invest your labor in a project you will enjoy the reward of that labor. The LORD recommends being diligent. It means to work with painstaking effort, to be thorough, in short, to "take care of business". It is far too common, even among the LORD's, people, to be satisfied with "good enough". Have you heard someone say, "That's close enough for government work"? The idea is that there is an acceptance of sloppiness in our work by some people. The world may be deceived into accepting careless effort, but the LORD has always rewarded diligence, not carelessness. The LORD has set a high standard for you, so live up to it. You can do it!!
