Seasonal Businesses vs. One Full-Time Job

I spoke with a guy a few years back, who happens to be a Seasonal Entrepreneur. At least, that's how he described himself. You see....he decided to give up his job a few years back because he knew that he had some good ideas that would generate him some major cash! His game plan....to only do businesses when they were in their peak season. Most of you know that every business has a peak season time, and then it dies down for the year. This guy wanted to only be in peak season, but all year long. And the only way he could achieve that, was to do own several businesses that he would switch between, so that he could sustain his peak season efforts all year. That's a killer way of thinking if you ask me! So you guys are probably wanting to hear what is best cash generating business is, right? Ok I'll tell you. During the month of December, his family run a kiosk in the local mall. He sells Christmas trinkets (ornaments, stockings, lights, etc). You name it and he had it, or could have it in the matter of days. He said that he was generating between $200,000 and $300,000 of sales in one month from that business alone. That's a pretty nice little business if you ask me!

  1. Interesting concept. I'm going to do some brainstorming. I would love to cash in on these holidays coming up.
