We all desire a sense of community. To belong to a group that we respect and that reciprocally respects us. A fellowship that feeds, supports and motivates us to become our best selves. We need to steer clear of the world of short sighted, short lived players, who have no plans for the future, but possibly ending up in jail or dead. We call them hustlers, manipulators, prostitutes, gangsters, robbers, con artists, and other street names. Today’s society glorifies the notion that making fast money is the main and admired goal in life. This is a fantasy to avoid. Although these STREET CHARACTERS have attained the fast money along with the best cars, the best clothes, the best fashion accessories, and the best sense of current style, they should not be admired. They are usually, if not always, operating outside the law. These fast money makers are glorified through music, fashion, and social media and put themselves above the law and everyone else. In fact, everyone outside their circle is given negative labels like, Lames, Tricks, and Squares.

In sports, ‘Game’ is when you can play that particular sport with the distinction of being admired for your skills by both other players and the fans. It’s the same in life. When you’re an earner you’ve got ‘Game.’ Street players that have GAME have money. On the street, if a person teaches you GAME, they are probably teaching you the ins and outs of making fast money. This usually means doing something for short-term money with potential long-term consequences, which is bad Game. Be smart in who you choose for a mentor and make sure it’s someone who wants to teach you good Game and how to earn money long term without any negative strings attached. This book will help young people from going down the wrong paths. We must stop our inexperienced and promising youth from taking the first step into a life of making fast money or, as they say on the street, ‘The Life.’ So look around, be careful and just strive to develop good Game.
