“As someone who has read project management books and books on leadership, military or civilian, Your Range Card for Life is a breath of fresh air. There are so many practical examples of how to plan and execute for success. Instead of motivational words and training stories, we get real world examples and paths for success. I really enjoyed John’s analysis of creating a plan, some of which I already did without knowing why and much more to implement. Plus, it’s full of wise insights into everyday life.”
– John Hicks, Deputy Program Manager, DOE Contractor
“This book gives clear and practical structure to many of life’s challenges that can cause us to feel overwhelmed, therefore putting off our goals or even giving up. I’m grateful John Riotte has taken the time to translate his military experience into these insightful techniques that anyone, in any position in life, can utilize. Unlike more idealized self-help books, we know these military techniques are tried and true under the most stressful and intense situations. Knowing John has successfully navigated such challenges helps me trust that these techniques can lead readers to their own personal success as well.”
– Theresa M. Ward, Business Owner + Productivity Consultant

Take the two hours you need to read this book and apply what John is presenting here to address just one issue in your life. I bet you’ll find the concepts in Your Range Card for Life will become tools you can use over and over again. If you’re an educator, I challenge you to use this training aid to assist your students in developing their analytical skills. Semper Fi!”
– Pat McGilton, Retired Marine
“Your Range Card for Life is the civilian ‘spark notes’ of the internal voice and subconscious reasoning I imagine the child of a military vet would have. While we’re not all lucky enough to have these decision-making skills and strategies ingrained in us from a wise parent, the concepts are logical and simple to adapt. Our lives are more hectic, busy, and anxiety-ridden than ever before, but with these strategies, we can all take a clearer look at what we aim to achieve and have the toolbox to make it happen.”
– Alexandra Schmidt
