possible mentor
So BP community , i must admit after joining the website and constantly reviewing the information giving in these forums ive gained some confidence in the knowledge ive obtained. Ive broadcasted to family, friends and visited a few local rei meet ups to finally put myself in the right surroundings to meet the right to help get me off the sidelines of the business. I was in search for a great mentor to help guide me through the business. Ive recently got a call from a high school friend about having lunch with a close friend of her fathers. To my knowledge He is a self made multi millionaire from NYC who is quite serious about the business and his time. So i come to the forums for help, how should this lunch and conversation go about so he can see the potential i have in the field.
Thank you guys in advanced!

From what I've learned, most mentors don't wanna hand out free lunches. They want to exchange value. A co-op with them for some sort of services or good deals. Show this potential mentor how you can add value to his business in exchange for mentoring. Good luck.
