>Why on freelance sites, market isn't friendly to companies, and how to fix?<

- Supply and demand varies in different markets - Quality of freelancers and employers varies in different markets - Freelance sites need to create loyal followers

Here are some of my personal favorites:

1) The Millionaire Next Door 2) The Intelligent Investor (must read!) 3) How to Get Out of Debt, Stay Out of Debt, and Live Prosperously 4) Your Money or Your Life 5) I Will Teach You to Be Rich (relevant to you at your age) 6) Why Smart People Make Big Money Mistakes, and How to Correct Them (short and sweet) 7) The Rational Optimist (not specifically about personal finance but a great read about behavior)

Hope this helps, and if you ever want to discuss personal finance in more detail feel free to reach out, love helping!

I hear ya Phil, it's tough. In addition to what dools said (great advice), pick the idea you care most about. Typically people who don't move on an idea actually don't care about it enough to get their hands dirty and get in front of customers. Also, I've had a few friends use Kickstarter as a tool to validate their ideas.

Thanks for the guide Brennan! Good practical advice.
