Ive been reading a lot about the different industries that we could get into. Offline businesses seem to be a good idea since everyone is going after the sexy Online businesses.

However, there seems to be a big problem with Offline Businesses. That is the problem of Seasonality. I personally loved a lot of the ideas that were given out in the NOTABLE! - 100 Unsexy Business Ideas: Name as many as you can! thread.

However, I live in a State that gets heavy winters, so for 4 months of the year, I would be affected by this. Among the industries that caught my eye were :
  • Lawn Mowing/Landscaping
  • Exterior Painting
  • Tree Removal (This one I researched extensively in tree removal forums and they all say that margins are low. Dont know if I believe that lol)
  • Window Cleaning
  • Carpet Cleaning
  • Carpet Installation
The industries above all seem to be negatively affected by seasonality.

Are there any blue collar industries that are NOT affected by Seasonality? Or is that just the nature of blue collar work?
