How do you know if a mentor (or person) is full of s%!t

Often times I'll meet people who seem to be successful, and we seem to get along, and they seem to be interested in helping / working with me, but they turn out to be full of sh!t.

I had met this woman who seemed cool. She was a real estate broker. We met twice prior and all was well, then she wound up being 3 hours late to our next meeting.

Then I met a mortgage broker who seemed successful. Talked the game. Then said they we're going to pay for and sponsor my mortgage license and kept lying saying each week that next week they were going to do it. This continued for a month. Once the mortgage class deadline came and went, I stopped communicating with them.

At what point does patience wear thin and you say forget them? 

How far do i bend before I'm doing myself a disservice? 

Im the most patient person I know so I feel I might be wasting valuable time on people who don't deserve my time.

Is there a general rule? Late 15 minutes once. I forgive. Late 2 hours without a damn good gift and excuse, leave me alone.

Thanks In Advance
