I have a self-defense mind. I've had it all my life.
'Secrets Of The Millionaire Mind' was born out of my own journey of self-discovery within both my personal and professional life.
I figure it could become a self-fulfilling prophecy; if I make a successful arena rock record, I'll wind up playing arenas! I wouldn't mind being back in that kind of venue because of the kinds of things you can do with production. You can make your shows more interesting, which would be fun to do.
