Start With What If: Weekly Questions to Spark Immediate Change and Growth

Most self-help books leave you thinking. Start With What If gets you moving this week.

Through 52 weekly What If questions and the simple three-step What If Rule (Pause. Question. Go.), you'll learn to create better perspectives and options in real time. Not someday. Not after you finish the whole book. Starting with Week One.

This isn't about massive life overhauls or complicated systems. It's about asking one powerful question each week that shifts how you see a situation, then taking one meaningful action that changes what happens next.

What if you let go of comparing yourself to others?

What if you said no to something you'd usually say yes to?

What if you caught yourself blaming and let it go?

Each question meets you where you are. Some will challenge you. Some will surprise you. A few might annoy you (those are usually the ones worth sitting with). But each one gives you something you can act on immediately.

You'll discover how to turn everyday moments into momentum, break patterns that have held you back for years, and build the kind of trust with yourself that makes future changes easier.

Whether you're leading a team, raising a family, navigating a career shift, or ready to live with more clarity and confidence, this book shows you how small, intentional questions create lasting change one week at a time.

Doug Fleener, author of The Day Makes the Year (Makes a Life), helps people create better perspectives and options that lead to immediate and lasting growth. His approach is grounded in decades of coaching, speaking, and his own journey from rock bottom to building a life worth living.

One question. One week. One action. Real change starts now.
