Hello!

My name is Marcus Ramsey and i am 20 years old. I am currently working on a internet start up company. I recently decided to get a mentor to help me along the road to success. I recently got ahold of a man who i think would fit perfectly as my mentor. His name is Mr Fontana and he is a lawyer and businessman who has had success at creating law application software. He has everything I've ever wanted, and i believe i could learn a lot from him. Im meeting Mr Fontana in two weeks and i am looking for advice from people on this forum, hopefully a couple successful people as well. But what i am wondering is, how to I build a great relationship with this man. What are some things that would impress you if you were him? should i just come right out and say " i admire your work and i would love to learn from you, will you be my mentor?" I need some help,I've never talked to too many rich people, let alone try to get them to believe in me and help me become like them. Also at what point should i discuss my internet company project? its really promising, I have a team behind me! first time thats ever happened in my life. I cant wait to hear from you guys!

thank you.
