English term or phrase: now the work starts
Well done - now the work starts!
(Well done for applying and getting accetped).

It is the introductory slides in a presentation for people starting course.

I need something that without being too long winded gives the same idea.
I thought of ¡ahora empecemos a trabajar! but I am not sure if I am moving too far from the original.
