Someone offered to be my mentor, now what??

[Jared Baker]

I'll put this here as it somewhat applies.

I was recently at a wedding and in the usual mingle started discussing things with various people.  One individual and I started talking and as the conversation wrapped up they said they would love to help guide me along the path of becoming a contractor.

I'm not sure what my next step is from here.  I don't know this person at all, literally just met them at the wedding.  I would love for them to help me along my journey but not sure what is the best approach as I do not want to do something that would derail what could be a great relationship.

Do I set up a lunch to start talking about what are the first things I need to start doing?  Something else?

The fact that you're posting here is a curious sign. This guy is going to mentor you, but you don't feel comfortable enough to ask him this question?

Maybe the alcohol was talking and you're not right for each other. Don't enter a partnership unless you're all in.
