It's nothing but make oneself ready to face anything in future.
Be prepared for action and not to be lazy. Roll your sleeves also
more or less conveys to make alert for attending jobs or any other things

I am just trying to answer your question. Apparently, it means that one is using his last attempt to make something happen which he has failed in several previous attempt.
