Would you be comfortable driving this red Ferrari around the street you grew up in?

Does that thought scare you? Think about it. Think about all those people who have known you for years. Think about those you played with as a kid. Think about the family friends you have. What will their expression be?

There are two basic expressions that can be generated. The first one is that they can be happy and delighted for you. Some can even wave you down and politely ask if they take the car for a spin.

The other expression is that they watch you with curiosity, disgust, and fear. The first question on their minds is about what evil you have done to be able to afford such a car. They assume you are a fraud or cheat or you have done something immoral.

Most people come from backgrounds where they get the second reaction. And it constitutes the major thing that holds people back from wealth and riches. Unconsciously, everybody has a frame of worth on their minds. If you attempt to pay someone beyond what they think they are worth, they will just reject it. Something will happen that will make them reject it.
