When I was a junior Product Manager, members of the sales force would refer to another Product Manager as "Gunna". Although I am Australian, I had never heard this term before so I asked them what they meant, thinking to myself was this another corporate term I needed to know.

After they laughed at my naivete they explained that "Gunna" was their slang for "going to ", meaning that the Product Manager was always talking about what he was going to do with marketing initiatives but never actually actioning any of them.

Here in the states, the slang is "shoulda-coulda-woulda" which doesn't refer to a person so much as to a scenario. It sounds like the same idea, however. On the other hand, another expression "biting off more than you can chew" refers to taking on too much and not being able to get it all done. Don't know if either of these expressions has meaning outside the U.S., however, it seems to me that it's important to prioritize what's important in your business so that you can get things done.

We don't use the first so much but the "biting off more than you can chew" is used. I agree with you and we often do it to ourselves by not being clear as to what we want to achieve with our customers to build the relationship with them and our business and brand.
