Once you've got it (the ppl), and take people on rides, be careful about your attitude. For others it's not like jumping into your car, for them it can be perceived as a potentially life threatening vehicle. Be as trustworthy and professional as you can, no jokes, no bragging. You are the captain, doesn't matter if you're paid to fly 300 people or flying 3 for free. Explain everything. Warn that it is a noisy environment. Explain that the condition of the cockpit and upholstery has nothing to do with safety. Your passengers are actually trusting you with their lives.

Read the book Propellerhed.
