If you are an aspiring entrepreneur but you hate the idea of being stuck inside on the computer all day then you don’t need to worry. There are several types of business that will require you to be outside for the most of the day anyway.
Have a look at these brilliant outdoor business ideas and see which one appeals to you.
Agriculture
One of the largest industries there is, agriculture isn’t just about making a profit but feeding the nation and producing enough food for everyone. As the population increases, more and more food is required and those businesses that are able to provide will flourish.
Though you might think that agriculture is about having lucky weather, there are plenty of new technologies and methods that are making it increasingly about smart leadership and investment. For example, you could use agronomy services to get as much out of every inch of your soil or you could swap to different crops each year following the food fashions that inevitably come and go.
However you choose to run an agricultural business, there is no getting away from the fact that you will need to spend a lot of time outside being up close and personal with the products you are growing and getting to know the land. In fact, the only days where the computer will look more tempting are those when it is raining.
Garden Design
Along the same lines as agriculture, gardening and garden design are about making the most of an outdoor space and turning it into another room for a homeowner to show off. In this business, you will need to have an artistic flair and the ability to see the potential in a space but you will also need to have the muscle and strength to get everything done on time.
In fact, garden design is the perfect side-hustle as a simple design may only take a weekend to do and will be a lot of fun to pull off that fast! You could fly solo or team up with a great property developer to get started. Just make sure that you include all the materials as well as your time in the price for your services.
Tour Guide
It might not sound like the kind of job for you but hold on a minute because tour guides spend all their time outdoors guiding people around the places they love. This job is ideal for anyone who wants to be in a city but doesn’t want to spend half their life in an office tower.
Free tour guiding or ‘pay what you want’ tour guiding has been around for years and is only growing in popularity. It started in Europe and has quickly made it’s way across the world. Again, this is easily something you could do as a weekend side hustle but in the high tourist seasons you could definitely put on a couple of tours a day and make a decent living.
So you see, you don’t have to get trapped indoors to be an entrepreneur. There are opportunities everywhere.
