Got a call from someone starting out ... here was my advice

I got a call today from a 27 year old man about my craigslist ad for a lot i am selling. He was looking for a mentor. He finally got around to asking and I told him no. I did walk him through his pitch and gave him some pointers. He paid $1400 for some smaller version of Ron LeGrand course and wasn't satisfied with what he had learned. He also felt like everything I told him was going against what he was learning from the book. He was taking no for an answer. He asked again and said he would take out the garbage. I told him to call 29 more investors and report back to me what their respond was to his request. I said even if you get an offer from another investor to go under his wing and he'll pay you need to promise to report back to me what you found out. He agreed. About three hours later I sent him two texts: 1) Play cashflow on richdad.com ten times before you call me next. 2) One player and just get out of the rat race the first three times you play His response : You got it!
