Its certainly a problem in business to decide how you want to work, and
how to stay in business doing it. All the business models they teach
you in college work... on paper. The thing is unless you are the
dominant bullying big player (Wal-Mart, Ford, Bass Pro Shops, Home
Depot, etc) in your market segment many of those things are invalidated
or distorted by necessity for customer service, conditions of your
vendors, selection vs turn rate vs repeat & addon business.

Even for the big players there are times when its tough. Look at GM.



Hope for the best but plan for the worst!
