It’s like falling down a rabbit hole—you enter not knowing where the journey will take you and at times you feel like you can’t find your way out. 

What frustrates me with this process are the individuals who are simply trying to make a quick buck or chase their few seconds of fame. They paint a utopian picture of success, but leave out the reality—the hustle, dedication, and perseverance that are required behind the scenes.  They create quick, flashy videos claiming that you can make thousands and replace your teaching salary in just a few months. They leave out the critical learning curve and all the behind-the-scenes work that takes time and effort to master.

I truly appreciate those who keep it real. Many successful individuals offer paid groups and training because they have valuable knowledge to share. Their platforms not only help others but also contribute to their own success and financial growth—a goal we all share. Then there are those who willingly provide mentorship to those of us trying to find our way through this maze. They do so because they have the knowledge and ability, and they offer it without asking for anything in return. I respect both of these groups for what they offer and the journey they’ve traveled to get where they are.

Fortunately, I’ve also found some individuals through my research who have renewed my faith in people. These are the ones who are genuinely invested in helping others get started and achieve success—the kind of people who are truly passionate about supporting others on their own journey to success. 

Santrel Media

This site offers a variety of resources, but what I love most is how simple and straightforward they are. Regardless of the topic, the information is broken down step by step, making it easy for viewers to replicate the advice provided. Mike and Nate’s honesty is refreshing—they’re transparent about the fact that these ventures will take time and effort. There’s no false promise of getting rich overnight. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for, and they will be one of my main go-to sources as I begin my journey in this field. Oh, and did I mention their videos are completely free? There’s no gimmick or hidden upsell for additional training. It’s just honest, valuable assistance from two guys who’ve made it, helping others along their path.
