    In this video, I flew out to Austin Texas to talk to Paul Millerd - the guy who quit a cozy $250,000 corporate consulting job to write a book. When Paul first started his journey to become an author and solopreneur, he ran into a lot of problems. But, eventually he found his way using a mindset he calls "The Pathless Path". He shares how The Pathless Path help him find his passion, why he chose to self-publish his book, and exactly how much money he’s made as a self published author. Hope you guys enjoy!
