Do you have a goal that you're going after? That is the best motivator to get you to go out there and put in the work.
What drives someone to push through extreme weather and commit to even tougher challenges? In this episode of 'Ultra Catalyst', Stephen Nosek shares his philosophy on 'planting the flag'—making a firm commitment to pursue one's goals. He takes us back to 2018, where he and his brother Jeff faced brutal conditions during the Santa Cruz half and full Marathon. Battling rain, thunder, lightning, hail, and flooding, nearly half the participants gave up. But not Stephen and Jeff.
They crossed the finish line and immediately sought their next challenge: a half Ironman. Without the necessary gear or training know-how, they registered for the Ironman within 20 minutes of returning to their hotel. Stephen emphasizes that the 'how' was secondary; their commitment was primary. They knew they had to do their research and start training, or else the Ironman would be an insurmountable task.
Stephen breaks down several strategies to help you 'plant your flag': identifying your target, committing to it (even if it means paying a registration fee), and doing whatever it takes to prepare. He discusses the financial and physical investments required and how these commitments can drive change in your life. This episode is a testament to the power of setting goals, investing in oneself, and using motivation and discipline to overcome obstacles.
Stephen's journey offers practical advice and inspiring insights for anyone looking to make a significant change in their life. Tune in for a motivational boost that will encourage you to plant your own flag and pursue your dreams.
