can be the difference between

Is this a sound sentence? Is it correct to write "can be the difference between"?

If I mess up this job, it could be the difference between making a lot of money and none. I better get it right.

Thanks

We also use "it could mean the difference etc."

"I better get it right" is very casual!
"I'd better get it right" is better.
