So about a week ago, I met a man at my day job while I was closing. (19 and I work at a restaurant)
He asks me about school and we start talking about business. He says he got a business degree himself, and we start to talk about passive income, retiring early, etc. Asks for my number and says he’d love to meet for coffee sometime as he’s “building a team” of highly ambitious young entrepreneurs as myself. Eager and excited, I wondered what he did for a living, as he stated his mentors “retired before they were 30” blah blah blah.. so a week passed and he’s been texting me trying to schedule a meetup. Asks to meet at a local Starbucks, I’m enthralled on a possible friendship and mentor ship (he’s about 35). We sit down at Starbucks and he starts asking me questions about my lifestyle, how I’m so young thinking about big things etc. I’m not gonna lie, I really connected with the guy. He seemed really genuine and I was so entrigued. (How foolish) about an hour passes and he keeps talking about mentor ship and how important it is to have value from someone who is where you want to be. I agreed with him. (I mentioned TMF many times through this coffee btw) he starts talking about opportunities and money systems. When I mentioned it would be great to create my own money system he frowned and started telling me “ we already have a system that you can implement, it’s just are you prepared?” He was really talking game. I was so blindsided because I know how value able a real mentor ship can be. We talked about family and how time is so important in life. In the end, he tells me to read this book “Business of the 21st century” I told him I would download it on audible, and he recommended me to just read it. He airdrops it to me and we split ways, I generally feel like the relationship has potential and I’m excited to meet his “business coaches” I get home and search the book on amazon to see reviews with IDENTICAL experiences as mine. Even though it was sort of a let down, it made me realize I have a lot of potential at my age and I don’t need to be spoon fed ideas and methods to be successful.
What do you guys think, should I go to this next “meeting” with him and waste his time? How do I even tell him he’s a d*ck for wasting my time?
TLDR: Guy promises me milk and honey and I realize it’s just Multilevel marketing bs
