Bringing deals to mentors
My friend and I found someone who we want to mentor us. I have heard that I need to make it worth their time to help me. What kind of things does a mentor look for? Should I try and find him a deal? Do I offer to work for free while he mentors me? Do I pay him? Is there any other things that could make him want to help me?

@Kyle Neville ask someone close to him what 4-5 things that he routinely does but hates to do. Take one of those things off of his plate and do it for free.
Reciprocity is a part of human nature. Adding value to his life will surely do the same to yours.
