What does it mean by the phrase 'keep running to stand still' ?
We're in a business where it really is true that you have to keep running even to stand still.

It means that the business has so many competitions that in order for a business to stay in business and to not go under, employees have to work really hard just to maintain the status quo.
For example: "The working poor has to keep running just to stand still" = It means they have to work like mad just to keep a roof over their head.
