This random thought popped into my head and I wrestle with it for quite a while. If the phrase "make it" means "to succeed" or "to acheive something" and the phrase "make good" means "to be successful" then what does "make it good" means? :inquisitive:

Well you could either have Make it, good (w/comma) meaning that you were successful and you did it very well. or you could have Make it good (no comma) obviously meaning to build something of high quality, but I'm sure you'd want the first one...
Did that help?

Well, you know when people say "make it good" like mafia bosses telling their minions or like in this phrase: "He gave you his wor to speak or act on your behalf and made it good, remember what he did, and ell me all you know." In this one, does "made it good" means "you better do it" or "confirmation" or what?

Possibly "make it good" could mean to rectify something that was broken.
