Seeking mentorship from local entrepreneurs on a car meetup this Sunday. Any advice?

[Azrod]

Hey guys !
i am a teenager who have an immeasurable hunger to accomplish huge thing in his life.


I've recently joined Fox Legends Program, and in it, there is a young guy who had great success from this course, he emphasize a lot on getting connected with business owner in our local area, and that's what i'm doing in 3 days.
I will also try to enter in networking meetup, it will may be a bit harder to access it but we will see how it goes.

I suppose that on a car meetup, i will mainly find individuals who want to be "shiny", but i cannot say this before approaching them.

So here my strategy for doing it.
I will first try to look at the car with the best value and also who drive it, how he looks , if he look like a confident guy, etc...

Next stage is two simple question:

First one is to make him talk about himself, my question will be " your are the owner ?[yes or no] Wow i really like your cars, but [insert question on the cars] ?"

And next step, maybe the most important one " without being indiscreet, what do you do for a living? [ if employee, then run] or [ if business owner, then enter pitch]


So here's my pitch, i will not repeat it word by word, or i will just feel like a robot
It is a translation from french so its normal some word may not have much coherence

“I admire your car, and I also admire your success in general,
if I asked you this question, it is because I consider myself an entrepreneur, I am young, I have the strong desire to achieve my greatest ambitions and therefore I asked myself the question, if it was possible to receive advice from you in entrepreneurship, if you have any know-how to share, I would be very grateful if we could discuss it over coffee”


What do you guys think? i know it is a bit of a "me first" asking, do you think i could say i own a web design agency on my first approach ?

I know that mentorship is Win-Win relationship but for now the only great offer i have in return is making great website.



Next stage would be to talk to him 1 on 1 for around 30 min, ask how his business journey was, 2 or 3 advice asked and then propose him my offer " Really grateful for you for taking time with me and the knowledge your shared with me, that is why i feel forced to give you value in exchange, i have a web design agency tadada..." But we are not there yet.


I will also continue to post on this thread for any people who have a fear to reach successful individuals, i think it could help anyone from learning my mistake!
