Gymjunie this isn't a personal attack I'm just telling it how I see it with regards to 'gurus'.
He has a degree in business (which you deem not very credible) and as Jonleehacker pointed out a successful business.
You have neither so any lessons you could possible offer would be based upon what has been told to you by others on this forum and the web.
Without you having tested these lesson on your own business or having practised this lesson before you even read it online your credibility would be zero and the value people get from your guru site would be much less than if they were to navigate over to CNN Small Business, INC, Fortune, Millionaire Blueprints or forums like this where profiles of and guest articles from actual millionaires can be had first hand.
As for the moral question portraying yourself as something you're not is deceitful and completely immoral because quite simply you would be lying
You would still be wrongfully portraying yourself as a successful businessman which as I said is deceitful.
If you were to be honest and somehow suggest that you have no business experience but just enjoy teaching you would have a hard time maintaining the readership from business people who are actually out there doing something and you would be quickly and smacked with a 'guru' label and probably get a write up on John T Reed's website alongside Rich Dad.
Degree in business is not a very awesome credibility in my book... practice is... Still, he might be bad example...

There is a great quote.. "When one teaches, two learn"... This means you have to actually apply and practice what you preach not just... Let's say a guy has a blog about making money online and you find his blog, like the content. The fact that you FOUND him and give him your time means he is doing something right.
Whatcha thoughts on that?
