Quality becomes reputation when repeated.

A single good piece of work is an event. The same quality delivered repeatedly becomes an expectation, and expectations are what reputations are made of. This is why the gap between someone talented and someone trusted is usually a matter of repetition rather than ability, and why consistency is worth more than the occasional brilliant showing.

Rather than aiming to impress once, aim for the same standard several times in a row. Track it if that helps. Reputation forms from the pattern, and the pattern needs a length before anyone can see it.
