Thanks for your input Xavier.

As far as mediocrity goes, yes, many businesses are guilty of that. Some can and should change that at all costs.

Some businesses, on the other hand, are viewed as commodities. If you sell hardware, for example, your business is merely distributing products manufactured by other companies. You can’t change the quality of the products, but you can change the image of your company through your advertising and customer service and educating your target market.

I think those reasons are not near the top reasons why a business sucks, which are: the idea is stupid, it is badly implemented, they don’t know how to do business, etc.

90% of businesses are mediocre or plain bad. There are plenty of things to do to escape mediocrity before starting a blog or starting using a CRM.
