ESL Podcast 588 – Hiring Business Consultants

http://www.eslpod.com/website/show_podcast.php?issue_id=8809700

- expansion : grow, become bigger
So your suggestion is to hire outside consultants to handle the extra work associated with the expansion
- expertise : specific knowledge on sth
we get someone with the right expertise quickly
- move ~ decision 
 I'm just not sure that's the right move right now.
- to me : in my opinion
- no-brainer : obvious  
To me, it's a no-brainer
- to call the shot: to make the decision , to be in charge
We call the shots. 
- to leave sb in a lurch : to leave sb when they need your help
the consultant won't feel any company loyalty and could quit working with us whenever he or she wanted to, leaving us in a lurch
- to be a thing of the past: no longer exist 
Company loyalty is a thing of the past.
- to take sth one step at a time : to do sth slowly, a little bit at a time
I think we should take it one step at a time. 
- to live with that : it's not what I want but I accept it, ok with it
Okay, I can live with that

==========================


- to try on clothe : to wear a new clothe and check it
I love to try on new clothes
- to dress up: to wear nice clothe for important event or meeting
I'm doing some TV work later, and I have to dress up. 
- to put on (a clothe) : to place it in body in order to wear it
 I'm going to put on this brand new suit and tie!
