This is a YouTube short titled "What Gurus Won’t Tell You About True Success #shorts #motivationalspeaker #entrepreneur" (created 2024-12-25). The excerpt is a spoken motivational monologue by a single speaker (labelled SPEAKER A) criticizing self-help "gurus" for focusing on conscious habits (e.g., setting goals, working hard) and arguing that the unconscious (the "iceberg"—95% of thoughts and behaviors) is the primary driver of success; it references books like Think and Grow Rich and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

Right? So this is another reason why the gurus became so successful. But if you ask them what they did, they don't really know. You know, so they're telling you things that aren't necessarily wrong, but also they're not helpful. Hey, you know, set your goals and work hard and focus. Yeah, no kidding. I knew all that. You know, you're not helping me. Right? So that— but they're— they don't really know what they did. You know what I mean? So they're unconscious. They're literally unconscious. And that's why, you know, when you look at other books or works like Think and Grow Rich or 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, those are great books. They're seminal books. But what the problem is, is that those are about about the conscious habits of successful people? Well, you know, it's the iceberg principle, right? 95% of our thoughts, behaviors, and actions are unconscious. And so if you're only working on the 5%, imagine if you were going into battle and you got 5 guys fighting 95 guys. Which one do you think is going to win, right? So that's why our unconscious is the thing that always wins.
