Summary

Listen to episode 1057 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The World is Calling You | Uplifting Podcasts. Adapted from Beginning Right (How to Succeed) by Nathanial C. Fowler.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The monument of success is but a collection of little successes, a gathering together of small things well done. If you stand in the majesty, and dignity, and glory of your personality, with your feet planted upon the material earth and your eyes looking into the sky of opportunity, fail not to realize that (so long as the sun shines or the rain descends, so long as there is day or night) you, not others, are in command of your wonderful majesty.

0:00.0	Hi, this is David. I've started a few small businesses over the years, including this podcast, and the situation is always the same. Every day another urgent task pops up and your to-do list is never ending.
0:14.3	Shopify wasn't around when I got started as an entrepreneur, but I wish it had been, because it would have made my life a whole lot easier.
0:23.5	How so? Well, with Shopify, you have instant access to hundreds of templates that make
0:29.2	building an online store easy, not just a beautiful storefront, but one that converts visitors
0:35.1	into paying customers. Shopify is also packed with helpful AI tools that write product descriptions, page headlines, and even improve your product photography. It's like you have a full marketing team behind you, not to mention tools for managing inventory, international shipping, processing returns, and a whole lot more.

2:00.0	Success can't be analyzed in a laboratory, but it is definable, for success is simply the result of doing your best.
2:11.8	More than your best is impossible, less than your best is inexcusable. No one in heaven nor earth asks you,
2:23.5	nor expects you, to travel beyond the road of your capacity. But your life will not be
2:31.5	pleasing to anyone. If the result of your endeavor represents less than
2:38.0	the exercise of the fullness of your ability.
2:42.0	The world called you. You had no choice. You had to obey the summons of nature.
2:50.0	Why you do not know, nor does anybody else know.
2:56.6	Will you sink, float, or swim?
