It's All About "Want To" - New Profitability Tip Posted In the classic Star Trek movie, The Wrath of Khan, there is a moment when Kirk and the USS Enterprise are attempting to hail another Starfleet vessel, the USS Reliant. Reliant doesn't answer the hail. Mr. Spock turns to Kirk and says, with all Vulcan logic on display, "There are two possibilities: they are unable to respond; they are unwilling to respond."
It turns out to be the latter, but the choice they made is not at issue here, as it relates to your companies. What is important for you to consider, as we continue to progress through 80/20 and the MAFSI MBA program, is that when it comes to making your businesses more successful financially, it's eventually all about how much you want to do that.
