Student Ratings & Reviews
This was a great course! Def worth recommending to friends/loved ones.
Felt good, took a page worth of notes that I can look back on.
Many usually and deliberately collected pieces of information!
OMG I did learn so much in about 3 hours, I can't describe in a few words. But it was awesome and the course is stunning, either. I can regard it with 1000% and it's so incredible, that's for free. Thank you life is a special operation in every possible way and thank you that you've read my review. Thank you guys.
great course
Great course. As a Veteran, I wish I had this training when I served. Thanks again!
Good course. I went through it with a pen and notepad in hand, taking as many notes as necessary.
Great content
This helped me see what it takes from a logistics side of the military
Overall a good course, I rarely seen such a good course on the internet, and while also being a reservist those course helps me for future military journeys
Interesting concepts on planning and good examples how to apply them

Super helpful, both at a Military Academy, and Civilian life.
The wide variety of tools that were seen in this course helps to understand both personal life and professional in a deeper complex when it comes to plan and maneuver different aspects of our life.
I would say that this course was well made both in contents and explanations given to me. I'm very happy to have gone through all the courses.

Game - changer! As a civilian, I learned several fantastic tools for my planning tool kit. They don't teach these things in business school. Great course. 5 stars.
I loved the compact way the infirmation is represented. Everything is usefull
I have been following life is a special operation on youtube for years. If you have been following and implementing the lessons of the videos for years, then there is little value for you here. For everyone else, I wanna say that you have stepped on a gold mine.
This course will make you see, understand and approach life "as if your life depended on it" because it does. The lessons are very helpful, to the point, and brief enough to be able to take the whole course on a single day or on less than a week.
I highly encourage you to take the course if you want to improve your life, and you should definitely take notes and review them often.

Super material! I was enjoying every minute. But everything so compact and fast that some time I can’t write down what I want and I was forced to switch the speed of the video to 0.75. But very cool staff! And big thanks for that materials!👍
Excellent material, good demonstrations and examples, easy to understand.
“This course provides practical tools that can be applied both in everyday life and within the corporate world.”
