A "Jump-Start"

Have you ever needed a helping hand or a lift to get from one place to another? A few months ago my husband and I heard about a cool way to help others get a jump-start on some projects they were hoping to begin. We loved the idea. People from all around the world participate just because they love the idea of helping someone reach their goal and complete their project. We adopted the same idea with a project of our own that will in time, hopefully, impact the world with encouragement, hope and vision.  The project? --a new daily radio feature that will be aired from coast to coast. We posted it at: http://www.gailmcwilliams.com/jumpstart

A great jump-start to the new venture is having 140 stations already on board before full production even begins. We do have 16 sample shows on my website at http://www.gailmcwilliams.com/radio that let others know the direction and format we are designing, but the favor that came before any recording is indeed a jump-start of the divine kind.

When I think about anyone’s dream or project it always seems helpful to get a jump-start on the projects in life. Recently I helped our son get his room in order. Two hands do make light work. Today our daughter helped her dad trim the bushes. One hour later it was pouring rain and they had a good sense of accomplishment that together they tackled a job and got it done quickly. My grandson needed a jump-start the other day getting his puzzle started, and his mother needed her early morning coffee to get hers. A friend came over today to give me a jump-start to a new diet and lifestyle. The benefits of all the above may be varied, but the principle is the same. Any project can seem daunting and too hard until you get a jump-start. My good friend Zig Ziglar says, “You can have anything you want if you will help others get what they want.”
