Get the ball rolling
means to start an activity or process. It’s often used when taking the first step to set something in motion, whether it’s a project, a conversation, or even a big life decision.
Examples:
1- Oprah Winfrey got the ball rolling on her media empire by starting as a local news anchor and building from there.
2- My friend said she’d get the ball rolling on planning our road trip. So far, all she’s done is buy snacks—an excellent start!
