Hi,
I've seen the sentence "It's ours for the taking" in different contexts. Can anybody please explain to me what it means?

Re: ours for the taking
It means that what is out there is available. Whoever "us" is just has to act to receive it. Example: "The clients are ours for the taking. They are looking for people like us to sell them these products. The products almost sell themselves!"
