Freesourcing: How To Start a Business with No Money [Kindle Edition]

I was pleasantly surprised by Freesourcing. I half expected it to be either full of magical thinking nonsense or totally impractical, but it turned out to be energetic, concise, and to the point about starting up a company or several companies with minimal or no resources other than your own time and dedication.

It's not going to turn you into an entrepreneurial genius overnight, but it does lay out all the basic things you need to know and gives you a good 'shape' for your attitude towards getting things done. So if you think of it as a very well written and enjoyable start point you will be on the right track.
