Short YouTube video in which Mark Evans DM gives candid, experience-based advice to entrepreneurs: warns that entrepreneurship is extremely difficult (sleepless nights, panic attacks, possible bankruptcy, first 3–5 years hardest), emphasizes perseverance ("never quit") and long-term rewards (personal growth, discovery of character, fulfillment alongside family). Speaker B adds a brief mentorship-oriented remark, describing himself as a deal maker/dream maker helping Kevin close deals and discover freedom.

Foreign. What advice would you give entrepreneurs? Find something else different to do. Let's be honest, man, entrepreneurship is not the easy path. There's going to be many sleepless nights. You're going to be scared, you're going to be crying. The startup phase is the hardest. The first three to five years, you're going to see what you're made of or not made of. Panic attacks galore. You're going to think you have to be in the hospital 24, 7 sometimes, as is the truth. No one tells you this, by the way. They're like, oh, it's easy. Do work four hours a week and do nothing. No, man, listen, this is tough, man. But with all that said, and not only that, let's be honest, you're going. You could potentially go bk. You're going to potentially lose everything. I almost went bankrupt twice at this journey of 24 years of entrepreneurship. I've been at moments where I didn't have any money to buy food, couldn't put any gas in the car. When you're digging in the couch, getting 20, 30, 50 cents to get, put gas in the car, to go to an appointment to keep the wheels rolling, one thing I can tell you is this is at the end of the day, if you're still watching this, what I would do if you're a real entrepreneur is it's one of the most rewarding journeys of life because you really discover what you're made of. You learn about what the world is really about at another level. And for me, it is besides being a father and a husband, it's one of the most rewarding things I've ever done in my life and continue to do. I'm just. I'm just getting started. I'm 24 years deep in the game. But for everybody else watching this, you have to realize you can never quit. You can never quit. If you're a real entrepreneur. You're going to have failure after failure. Your ads are going to fail. You're going to hire someone that's going to fail. You can't quit. You're constantly learning and you're constantly growing. Hope that helps you.
Kevin's deal. I'm here to help and teach him what I know and how I did it, to discover freedom. There ain't no question mark. Kevin's. When he stepped in the doubt, he's closing deals. Time to tell them what the DM stand for. I'm a deal maker. A deal maker. But I'm not just a deal maker. I'm a dream maker. The journey.
