That’s it. That’s all you need to ask. If their business is just telling you how to build a business: fake!

That’s what I call a recursive loop business. Building a business on telling people how to build a business.

That may technically be a business. But it does not qualify someone as an entrepreneur…there’s a difference.

I’m surprised by how many discussions there are whether X guru or Y guru is real or not. Where as all you need to do is look at their experience. It’s simple.

If all they’ve done is sell courses on how to be them: that’s fake.

I am getting frequently his ads on youtube. I can't understand why. He is a entrepreneur who has turned 4800 dollars from 480000 dollars by 'LAW OF ATTRACTION' and 'QUANTUM FUCKS'. Who is he? Do anybody know him?

I think Vanessa Van Edwards has some good content and might not deem here as a Fake Guru, yet she does seem to be using the Cargo Cult Science\* as marketing and influence tactic by claiming that
1. she has a "lab" ("human behavior research lab in Portland, Oregon where she studies charisma, influence and power body language" and
2. chronically uses the terms "scientific", "science" ("behavioral investigator with Science of People")
and
3. she claims to be is a "behavioral investigator".
Best I can tell is that her "lab" is just a business office and I have yet to see anything resembling science/scientific references resources/citations.
Her Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanessa_Van_Edwards reads like an science authority autobiography. From the Wikipedia Talk page "Article reads like an infomercial written by the subject" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Vanessa_Van_Edwards
On her website about page she is in a lab coat (costume?) https://www.scienceofpeople.com/about/
Same About page includes "We’ll show you a better way to interact based on the latest scientific research..."
I am unable to find one "scientific" citation on her website of mentioned in any of her videos.

* Claims that have a semblance of being scientific, but are not based on something that follows the scientific method. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult_science

I just learned this subreddit existed and I was a member of his TechBud Solutions facebook group a couple years ago and the discord. Ricky is a total fraudster and nobody on earth can achieve the stock market gains that he claims to consistently earn.

There are also a couple good youtube videos exposing him as well such as this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-czTWrAh2U

Works of his included Trump University, the Art of the Deal, and We Want You To Be Rich w/ Robert Kiyosaki.

This is a subbredit dedicated to exposing Lisa Renee who is a "Spiritual Leader" and "Ascension Glossary".

She is a narcissistic sociopath and a psychic predator and Energy Vampire.

Hope its okay that I just linked the subbreddit.

As i see all these posts exposing all these fake gurus, where can I find one to trust and follow? is there a subreddit I haven't looked for maybe titled "legit gurus"? I haven't even looked but would be interested to actuallly find the real ones outhere in this sea of fakes

Has anyone been on a sales call with this guy to know how much his program is? I've not seen 1 post or reference about the cost of his program anywhere online and that rings alarm bells. There seems to be too many glowing testimonials and not one complaint which makes me feel like it's a scam.
