It is part autobiography, part self-help, and part DIY guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFor the past 8 years, Lue has turned his cardboard-crafting hobby into a viable business that has taken him to conventions across North America. His passion for cardboard started as a coping mechanism for depression as a teenager, then became a casual hobby to pass the time, then a YouTube fascination, and now it's a full-time business.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOver the years of running his company, Zelpha Comics and Collectibles, Lue has been asked numerous times how he got into cardboard crafting, how he turned something so obscure and strange into a business, and how someone could do something similar with other hobbies and skills. The Cardboard Path answers all those questions and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eLue gives you ALL his failures and successes to help you avoid and mimic his journey within your path to desired accomplishments. He provides advice on how to sell at conventions, how to read body language, what financial mistakes NOT to make, how to prototype on a budget, how to approach celebrities, what ‘goals’ should be your priority, what effect mental health has on achieving goals, the perpetual trap of convention life, and so many more honest truths that can be helpful along your path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis is NOT a ‘get rich quick’ guide! It is a brutally honest look at one person’s journey to make a talent and passion into something that pays bills, provides for the family, and brings joy in a life surrounded by an uncertain world.
