I have no doubt in my mind that Eminem (the rapper) could pay $300 for your DVD set and wipe his ass with another thousand just because, but I highly doubt he would take anything on the DVD seriously.

On the other hand, I'm sure there are people here who would resonate very well with the DVD set, but $300 would not be a justifiable cost to them.

A person's bank account is not a litmus for personal growth. Nor is their beliefs about money a good litmus for personal growth. In some cases, yeah, but in other cases no.

Unless, of course, that you are saying that you've structured the whole thing around money.
I completely agree that assigning a price isn't a perfect test, but it's simple and reasonably effective IMO. As of yet no one has been able to suggest a suitable, practical alternative that I found superior to a price tag.

There are other tests too. A person also has to decide to buy the DVDs and watch them. That rules out a disinterested rapper who can merely afford it.

For more details see the Prerequisites section of the Conscious Growth Workshop page. There are three basic pre-reqs listed. Being able to afford it is only one of them.
