Any other expression meaning "business is picking up"? I saw phrasal verb pick up in "Her business is picking up so much that I think we'll lose her in a couple of years —I know her goal is to build into working full-time for herself." I see from the context that "picking up" means "booming". And I'd like to know if thereare other expressions used as a meaning of booming so that I can prepare myself for running into embarrassing vocabulary.
