To digress, I found this Vice video where one of NY's premiere dealers 'Nim' breaks down his operation. Below the video, after the page-break, is our basic breakdown of Nim's rules in points.
Nim's 12 Golden Rules of Pushing:
- Explore different patterns different than yours and find one that really works. Think outside the box and be what's necessary.
- Treat it like a business, not a hobby. It's an illegal activity, you have to get it as right as you can.
- Keep level headed, don't lose your cool or you're not getting anything but deeper into trouble.
- Make long term relationships, not short term. Make good money over a long time than bad money over a short time.
- Sacrifice.
- Put together a reliable crew. Organise them and look after them.
- Gloves, protection and safety.
- Everyday, every week, every month, All year.
- Watch who your friends are.
- Don't pick up bad habits. None.
- Get in, make money, stack it, get out.
- You're going to get caught one way or another.
