The bottom line

For example:

• “It’s true that we’re very short-handed, but the bottom line is we must still deliver the project on time.”

Smooth sailing 

 When everything is going well and without any problems, we call it smooth sailing. 

For example:

• “Once the company overcame the country’s bureaucracy, it was smooth sailingfrom then on.”

„Let’s get down to business” – vagyis „Fogjunk hozzá az üzlethez.” Ez a kijelentés egyfajta bevezető, amelyet gyakran hallhatunk tárgyalások, megbeszélések vagy fontos projektek kezdetén. Sokkal több, mint csupán egy közhely – ez egy kifejezés, amely energiát, céltudatosságot és elszántságot hordoz magában.

Ez a mondás arra ösztönöz bennünket, hogy hagyjuk hátra a felesleges szólamokat, és koncentráljunk arra, ami valóban fontos. Legyen az üzleti tárgyalás, csapatprojekt vagy éppen egyéni célkitűzés, a „Let’s get down to business” azt sugallja, hogy elérkezett az idő a cselekvésre. Nincs helye további halogatásnak vagy körülményes előkészületeknek – most van itt az alkalom, hogy a szavak helyett a tettek beszéljenek.
