Win Some, Lose Some
The old idiom, "You win some and you lose some," when applied to a business, can mean customers coming in the front door and going out the back door—in other words, the business is just running in place, going in circles, but not gaining ground—NOT GROWING. Another idiom in the business world that you may have heard is, "If you're not growing, you're dying!"
