A solution to a long vexing problem of garbage can cover. The problem: You put out your garbage cans, the wind knocks them over, the lid pops off and everything that was once inside is now blowing down the street.

“Physics makes the lid fall off,” he said. “Not me.”

Then someone drives over the lid and now — because you can’t buy lids separately from the can — you’re off buying yet another new can.

Kiernan’s fabric lid can stretch over any standard trash can. Velcro holds it in place. It takes a few seconds to put on and is easy for trash collectors to remove.

He’s made about 200 lids (he does all the sewing and assembly himself), which he’s distributed to friends and family. Now he’s at work on nearly a half-dozen other inventions designed to make daily life a little bit easier. Great business idea for filipino semptress.

A news from ABC World News shared the story of Amit Aharoni, an Israeli national and a graduate of Stanford Business School, who secured $1.65 million in venture capital funding with two cofounders to launch CruiseWise.com, an online cruise booking company.

The company hired nine Americans in just one year. But Aharoni hit rough waters after he received a letter on Oct. 4 from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services denying his request for a visa and notifying him that he needed to leave the country immediately. Aharoni moved to Canada, where he was forced to run his company via Skype from a friend’s living room.

While “World News’ viewers voiced their disappointment, this morning, Aharoni received an email from USCIS. He was told that his petition had been reconsidered and approved. He is once again able to work in the U.S.

Experts say America’s immigration policy is putting it at a competitive disadvantage. There are other countries that are eager to have entrepreneurs, enticing them with special visas and funding. According to Partnership for a New American Economy, an organization that advocates “the economic benefits of sensible immigration reform,” countries including the United Kingdom, Singapore and Chile have visas for entrepreneurs. Chile even has a program that offers $40,000 in seed funding. Its a story for the Negosyantes or Pinoy businessmen who wants to venture business from outside the Philippines.

With all the ideas you get here at Negosyoideas.com its time to ponder how to build on your good negosyo idea. Your idea is good enough in the back of your head, you already know that. But nobody else knows – and never will unless you build on it. A qoute from Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari says “Everyone who’s ever taken a shower has an idea. It’s the person who gets out of the shower, dries off and does something about it who makes a difference.

You can’t build a house without finishing the roof and then complain about it when the rain comes in and you can’t build only half of a business and then complain that it doesn’t earn lots of money. Starting many businesses and finishing none of them will get you nowhere, so focus your attention on one good idea and see it throught up to completion.

Here are some 5 inspiring Qoutes about ideas for all Negosyantes.

“Ideas are the beginning points of all fortunes” – Napoloeon Hill

“We think good ideas to death, when we should be acting them to life.” – Brian G. Jett

“Don’t worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you’ll have to ram them down people’s throats.” – Howard Aiken

“Ideas are not yours. They’re in the common consciousness. But how you perceive an idea is yours.” – King Sidharth

“Don’t be afraid of new ideas. Be afraid of old ideas. They keep you where you are and stop you from growing and moving forward. Concentratre on where you want to go, not on what your fear.” – Anthony Robbins

The Philippines has a tremendous growing motorcycle riders and there is a demand for this new tent design from Denver-based Redverz Gear that provides an enclosed space in the tent to keep motorcycles safe and secure.

It can be difficult enough to get comfortable while roughing it in a tent without having to worry about the safety of your motorcycle as well. A new tent design from Denver-based Redverz Gear has that problem taken care of, however, by providing an enclosed space in the tent to keep motorcycles safe and secure.

Formerly known as The Nomad Tent Company, Redverz created its motorcycle-friendly tent out of frustration with traditional offerings, most of which leave motorcycles vulnerable to both the elements and prying eyes. “When we’re out on the road for weeks or even months at a time we want our gear and bike securely out of sight, we want to stand up to change clothes, a space to work on the bike and a tent that’s simple – slide three poles, and it’s up,” the company explains. Accordingly, its Series II Expedition Tent features a spacious garage bay that can be used not only to shelter a motorbike but also for cooking and relaxing under cover or as a storage area, workshop or dressing room. An inner tent, meanwhile, offers enough headroom to stand up and sleep two people in a footprint that accommodates a queen-size air bed. Priced at USD 449, the Redverz tent packs down to 10 inches by 21 inches and weighs 13 pounds. It is available in green and yellow. Be the first to distribute this in the Philippines there site is www.redverz.com

In India a new service that offer coordinated online shopping from small, local grocers with a different twist. Its called AaramShop, what makes them particularly interesting is its Facebook application, which lets consumers shop through its service on Facebook as well.

Now in beta, AaramShop offers neighborhood retailers a free online storefront on its multivendor site. Consumers use the service by shopping online for groceries and then selecting the participating retailer they prefer in their area; currently, New Delhi, Gurgaon and Noida are the three areas covered by the service. Shopping can be done on the AaramShop site directly or through its Facebook application. Either way, once the consumer’s shopping is complete, the order is instantly transmitted to the selected retailer, who is responsible for making prompt delivery. Consumers only pay the retailer once delivery is made. Using AaramShop is free for both consumers and retailers. The benefits of a bigger, coordinated online presence are clear for small, local retailers who may otherwise be drowned out by larger competitors online. For time-strapped consumers, meanwhile, shopping capabilities not just online but through Facebook offer an extra measure of convenience. One to emulate here in the Philippines and i’m sure this is again a patok negosyo idea.

A new kind of business was just opened in New York city. People love their pets, making the pet industry a million dollar business. That’s why a business like Playground Pups fits so well in New York City. Gail Nord was determined to launch a business in an industry she was passionate about. Without the help of the government or bank loans, she went out and started a business taking care of dogs while their owners are busy or away, a report from FOX Business.

“To make a long story short, Gail Nord decided after 20 years of managing audio/video post production facilities both in New York and San Francisco, that she was tired of running other people’s businesses and she also felt that she’s stuck in an industry that had changed dramatically and was no longer interested in,” . “My passion has always been dogs and I decided to follow my passion, as they say.” she tells me. “I left my job and began researching opening a dog daycare facility on the upper west side. I knew it was the right location – home to dog and baby lovers, so I knew I would have a built-in client base,” Gail says.

Next step was getting money to start the business. And just like the situation so many business people are now facing, that’s where the dream began to crumble. “I had to self-finance, which involved a second mortgage and the steady decimation of both my old 401k and my son’s college fund,” she says. “Not fun.”

Business has taken off. “So now my business is skyrocketing (knock on wood), and we are beginning to look for our second location which we hope to open next spring or sooner if possible,” Gail says. “I was able to create just the type of place that I envisioned – warm, intimate, personal, and staffed with qualified people who love and respect dogs. Every day that I walk in here, I am filled with joy when I greet my beautiful ‘clients’ as they arrive each morning.” This kind of business will be a great negosyo idea in busy cities like Makati, Manila, Cebu and other places which have many condominiums with residents that have no helper to take care of their pet.

I’m not really a coffee drinker but sometines I always have this problem when going out with friends to coffee shops for a hang out. The coffee serve is usually very hot that it will burn your tongue and suffer no taste buds for the next days. Coffee is always more enjoyable if it’s the correct temperature. Too hot and it burns your mouth. Too cold and, well, it’s just cold mud in a mug.

Finally a device called Coffee Joulies were invented to solve both problem. They look like large polished stainless steel coffee beans and are about the size of an ice cube. You put two or three in your mug and pour your coffee over them and the non-toxic liquid inside the shell absorbs excess heat to cool down your coffee to a perfect drinking temperature. As your coffee cools below the temperature of the liquid inside the Coffee Joulies, heat is then transfered back into your coffee. This two-stage process works to ensure that your coffee maintains it’s perfect drinking temperature longer, making for a more enjoyable drinking experience.

This is a great opportunity to coffee shops here in the Philippines to offer this new kind of product for added income. You may visit there website at joulies.com.
