Once released from prison I continued to sell drugs. During that time; I
had gotten my girlfriend pregnant and had my first horn in 20010 Sadly to

run, my name somehow got back to the Federal Authorities and before you
know it, I got indicted by the Feds in 2004, and was sentenced to 12 years
in federal prison. The next time I would see the streets was in 2016.
Once released from Federal Prison, I was sent to-as, half-way house in
Philadelphia. Once there I heard. that a long- time friend of mine had his
own cleaning business running, and that he was doing good for himself. So, T
contacted him just for a way to get out of the half-way house, and before
you know it he was there at the half-way house stating that I was hired by
him from that point on I was introduced to the cleaning game: where he
taught me the business. He too was once a drug dealer, one that I looked up

I come to show you that there is a better way other than committing
crime. And before it is too late to change because you may have slipped up
and caught a life sentence in prison or even worse, got murdered on the
streets.
I give you my blueprint to success, not only for yourself, but to share with
your families, friends and children.
Many of us may not be college educated or even graduated high school, but
still possess the smarts that can compete on any level when it comes to
conducting business.
I encourage you to not let money be your only motivation through your
journey in life. For being hard pressed for cash will only make it harder to

This book was designed to help you achieve the four C t s (CCCC) within
one and a half years, (Crib, Car, Cash, Credit). So, may my Blueprint to
Success help to carry you to a comfortable, legitimate lifestyle for yourself
and others.
Any debt, other than student loans on your credit report that is (7)
Seven years or older must be cleared off your credit report relieving you
from that debt. T then contacted the credit bureau and brought. to their
attention that -the debt was more than seven years old. The cell phone debt.
was expunged from my credit report, and L was working with a clear credit
report and was on me to start building my credit score.
Your credit report shows how you built your credit to the score that you
have • so it is important to have more than one credit card, maybe a
cellphone or car payment in your name. By doing this it shows that you can
handle multiple payments at once.
If you are currently in prison and have a year or more to do, 1 highly
recommend that you start building your credit score ASAP!! By the time or
are released, you will come home tO good credit instead of having to wait
a year and a half of the streets before your credit score is right.
I was ten steps ahead of the game when I contacted my mother from prison
and told her to apply for a credit card under my name, and gee if I get
approved, now that 1 cleared my credit report. She filled out a random
application and sent it in, and I couldn't believe it! By the next time I
called my Mom she gave me the news that I had been approved for a f i ve
hundred dollar Capital One Credit Card.
When filing cut the application they will ask you if you are
employed. Just put self-employed, you will not be lying being as though every
inmate is assigned to a job or duty 0
When it is time to activate your credit card, they just need to hear
that it is a guy’s voice pretending to be you. Be sure to give whoever you
decide to handle your affair a POWER OF ATTORNEY, to handle Legal affairs,
and that way you and the person are covered. . . so that no fraud is done.
POWER OF ATTORNEY
Attorney over all your personal, financial, credit cards and Bank accounts.
See your Unit Counselor and he will direct you to the Institution's Notary
Public. They will provide you with a Power-of -Attorney form to be filled
out, and then the Notary will stamp it with their official State stamp
and Seal, being the witness that you are authorizing Power-of -Attorney of
You will then mail the application to whoever you are giving Power-of-
Attorney to, and they will take the Power-of-Attorney form to a licensed
Notary public in their area to be notarized that they are indeed the person
that will be handling all your personal affairs. Your Authorized Person will
show their State ID and then the Notary will then stamp their official seal on
the form, being the witness that your authorized person officially has Legal
If the Institution that you are in does not have any Power of
-Attorney forms, you can get them mailed in to you. Power-of-Attorney forms
are available at any licensed Notary Public. Or you can get a complete packet
t Cards
Now that you got the game on clearing your credit report and retrieving
a credit card, you want to manage the use of your credit cards properly.
Most important is TO NEVER MISS A MONTHLY PAYMENT . . . "NEVER"!
My first Capital One credit card had a $ 500 .00-dollar Limit, with a
minimum payment of $30 a Month. At the time I had about five family members
that were supporting me through my incarceration, averaging about $50 to $75
a Month sent to my books so That I could go to the institutions Commissary,
for my monthly needs such as hygiene products, food and snacks.
I started saving any cash money that was sent to my books from home to
my mother so that she could make a $50 a Month payment on my credit card, so
that me. payment will never be late, and I would have my mother send me 2-3
opt
Hundred Dollars off my credit card and making on time monthly payments every
time that my bill was due.
My Credit Card had a high interest rate at 26%, but don't worry
about the interest rate in the beginning. The Key is getting your feet in the
door. Once the creditor sees that you are paying back a high interest they will
really love your business.
Look at it this way. If you get drugs from the dope march, and he gives
you a $300 pack worth of drugs, he is going to want back $200, and whatever
shorts you take comes out. of your profit which is $3.00. The dope men will
also want his money in a very short time, a month being too long,
For every $100 that the Credit Card Provider gives you they only want
$26 and they want a minimum of $30 a month for however long you want to
take paying It back. If they were to give you a $300 pack like the dope
man, they would only want back the $300 plus $78 interest at that $ 26%. It
is a No Brainer when you do the math. The creditor wins far, and don't
forget you will also have no worries about going back to jail.
So, continuing using your credit card, and paying your monthly bill on
time for your remaining incarceration if you are incarcerated. Your Credit
Report will show that you never missed one payment, and in my case that was
for 3-4 years.

Legitimizing o your Cleaning Business
First you should think of a name that you will operate your cleaning
business under. Really consider the name because this will be the name on all
your Bank Statements, Credit & Debit Cards, and check • that you will.
eventually start receiving from customers and contractors. Be sure to Google
your game to make sure someone else is not operating under that same name.
At the same time why determining a name for your Cleaning Business, keep
in mind that you are not in a Business where the name really matters. What
matters is if your Cleaning Business is reliable or not. I say this because
many of the names that you come up with are already being used. So, if you
must settle for a name that you really don't Like, it will not affect you from
get tiny contracts just if your company provides reliable, good work.
When opening a business account go with a bank that you are comfortable
with. Each bank will provide different perks and benefits, keep in mind that
you can change banks at any time you want if later you find out. that a differ—
ant bank is more of your interest.
Once you. open your Business Account you will be available for a Credit
Card Merchant Machine/ Device, one that could connect to your cell phone or
tablet. YO" will then be able to accept VISA@, Mastercard@This is good because
not everybody that you clean for will have a daily contract with your company,
a lot of people will just need a onetime cleaning rather if it is a car or an
apartment/house clean up. Remember you are a legitimate Business so most
people do not carry cash like people in the cocaine business (Drug World).
They typically carry credit cards, Debit. Cards or write Checks.
I had to learn the hard way because I wanted to be cheap and register on
my own for free. One thing that I didn't know was that your LLC name and
Business' Name must match EXACTLY. The name of my Cleaning Company at the time
was TAPRI'S Cleaning Services without the (s) and there for my Bank Account,
and LLC did not match exactly as required. This small mistake would have
stopped me from filing taxes for my business at the end of the year and
created tax problems with 'the IRS,
() obtaining insurance for your company. You will need two types of
insurance policies for your C, leaning Company.
BASIC INSURANCE
2) . You will need to have basic insurance on your Cleaning Business. This
Insurance will cover your C, leaning Company's equipment just in case its
stolen or other damages, and covers employees while they are working on a
jot). Be sure to read your policy to be aware of what your insurance covers!
Contact any Insurance Agent, and they will get you the Insurance that fits
your needs.
I had got my Insurance through a Nationwide Insurance Agent. T- was
charged a payment of $999.00 to be paid in the sum of three payments of $333
.00 a month, and after the full $999 .00 was paid I would then pay a total
amount of $600.00 a year on my basic Insurance.
As a drug dealer, I always made sure that I kept the raw less product
possible to provide to my customers. I also provide them with the largest
in size amount of product to insure their guaranteed business. Buying cheap
equipment as far as vacuum cleaners you will find yourself working harder
if your vacuums do not pick up trash on its first go-over.
You eventually want to start landing contracts on your own, cutting out
the middle man. So that keeps an extra $20,000 profit for your own,
By finding contracts on your own you will be cutting out the middle man.
This is the part of the Cleaning Business that I Love. I love pulling up to a
business, hoping out of my car or van with my C, leaning Company’s Service
logo on my T-Shirt, with all current documents of my Insurance and licensing
in hand, hoping to finesse my next cleaning contract.
This is the part of the game that most drug dealers are good at. .
.reading people, negotiating and convincing. We develop this skill from
dealing on the streets and crossing paths with people from all walks of life.
From little kids in your neighborhood trying to get over Okiya for a dollar
every day, to the neighborhood crackheads trying to negotiate a deal on every
$10 bag of crack that they buy, to your corporate clean white clientele
customers that often have straight money. Why prison teaches us patience,
strength opening
-my eyes. Through it all we develop a skill that can' t be taught in any
school or college.
So, as I enter your place of business, T- simply ask for the Property
Manager or () owner and once he or she is standing in front of me, I give a 30
second presentation of who T- am and my company with its benefits.
My 30 second presentation/commercial.

say that you will think about it! And if it' s a female, I would go the extra
mile and get on one knee then say. . . Will You Hire Me???
This approach always seems to make a person's day, putting them in a good
mood, not to mention that you will not be easily forgotten about, if their
business has a barren atmosphere.
So, put yourself a nice n presentation together so tb.at you can finesse
owners into hiring your cleaning company. I chose my presentation/
commercial to be about 30 seconds long so that you 're not taking up too
much of people 's

something along the way. Let t G say your monthly expenses were:
I would then think of all my monthly bills and pick one or two of my
bills that I am going to have this new contract cover. My mortgage and a car
note are my most expense bills at $700 apiece. I can easily charge the
company $15400 monthly and that would cover both my car payment and my
Mortgage Monthly.
But charging that amount I would be Leaving room for another company to

business longevity, I am going to charge them $700 a month knowing that my

HOW TO PAY
How to pay your employees. It all depends on who you got working for your
company. You can have someone who wants to get paid under the table (off the
books). you could have someone that needs a legitimate paying j to). (the
Books).
When paying someone off the books, it is normally someone that don't want
to pay taxes on the money that they make. This person would be someone that
is receiving some type of government assistance, and by having a jot) would
affect the benefits of their assistance as far as food stamps, Housing or
Day Clare. So, this person would want to get paid off the books.
Another type of person that would like to get paid off the books is someone
that just needs to make some on the spot extra money. This type of person is
normally someone that has a drug addiction or in a lot of cases are just
simply homeless. And let's not forget about all the illegal immigrants that
come to America Looking for work trying to make a Living but having to stay
under the radar, and there for need to get paid off the books.
The downside of having someone with an addiction working for you is that they
are more than likely a risk of stealing from you or your place of work.
Although not all people with addictions will steal, you must be extra cautious
that nothing comes up missing, for this would jeopardize losing your contract.
Situations like this is what we need insurance for.
Paying on the books. You can get applications made up through the store '
'Stapp les" and many other stores that provide the same service. () nice your
employee fills out the application with all his/her personal information, you
will then provide your business account banker with the application so that
person can be added on your payroll. The bank will then provide you with that
employee ' s check weekly or bi-weekly with the proper hours and taxes taken
out.
Talk to your banker for full details. You can also go through a payroll
company if you have ten (10) or more employees, ten is recommended.
All your employees that you will have on the books will be able to file
taxes at the end of the year, simply because they were getting taxed on every
dollar that they made while working for your company.
If you started building your credit score while in prison for the last year
and a half or more without missing any of your payments, your credit score
will be in the high 600-1 ow 700 range. To be approved for the First home time
buyers program your credit score only must be a 620 or better to be approved
for a Mortgage on a house.
Depending on how much money that you are making at the time the bank will then
determine your monthly mortgage off your income and other expenses as far as
your car loan and/or personal cash loan that you may have gotten prior to your
application for the (FHA).
The first car that I looked at was a SL500 Mercedes Benz. Well that was out of
the question being-as-though it was a two-seater and I have two kids. Next, the
salesman showed me a S 550 Mercedes Benz "Which T- really liked, but at the
time it was too big to be parked on my mother 's block, where I was going to be
released to once I finished with the half-way house program. Then finally, the
salesman came to a CLS 550. the same car that I am Leaning on on the cover of
this book . It was perfect! ! Not too big, not too small. Something that Could
push every day. I had to pay for my tax and tags out of pocket then I rolled
off the lot within the same hour. Keep in mind that I had just come home after
doing 12 years and at this point I had good credit, my driver’s license for the
first time, a job cleaning for my old-head, Cousin J!, (4) credit cards with a
$1,000 a piece on them, and about three months away from starting my own
cleaning company once I had completed the half-way house program.
From there T- got a real estate agent and applied for the first home time
buyers program. Talking with my agent is where I learned that your credit
score only must be a 620 or better to be approved, two years proof of income,
and to maintain about $3,000 Dollars in your saving account just to show that
you can save money.
There can be only one certain type of company in each individual group. For
example, there can only be One cleaning company, () ne electrician, One car
sales man, () ne Real Estate Agent and so on
Once you find a group then your company would have to be voted in the group
selected members. There will be an application fee of some sort, in my case I
had paid an application fee of $600.00. Being as though you paid this fee does
not mean that you will be selected to be a member of that group.
At the time T- submitted my application and fee to my group, there were also
three other cleaning companies awaiting to see their cleaning company would
be selected by the group.
At the time T- was also promoting and throwing my own party events on the
weekends. I had pictures of all my events stored in my phone. T- brought to
their committee 's attention that not only do T- cross paths with hundreds of
people in my party world as well, as T- was flashing through picture after
picture.
The committee then told each one of the three Cleaning Companies that we will
be receiving an F}-Mail if our company had been chosen. At that point T- knew
that my company would be selected. Anyone with basic business since about
making a dollar could see that. I waited for about one week before getting
their fill-Mail saying. e. 'I Congratulations!!! You have been selected and is
now the newest member of our group. "
() ne thing that I liked about joining this group was that it opened my eyes
to how business is supposed to be run. Keeping all the money circulating in
the family,
The group was run something like the Italian Mob runs their Mafia. My group
was in 64 (.)countries broken down into individual chapters that covers
certain areas.
It all made sense to me how the bigger Cleaning Companies always get first
dibs on the bigger cleaning contracts. They are all apart of some type of
group sworn to give each other their business.
For example: Let 's say that someone that is in the same group as I am in but
is in another chapter in another Country. Let's say that they are a
Billionaire () ill Tycoon or something and was looking to buy an entire Mall
or Casino in the United States that was in the area that my business group
covers. The Billionaire would need to hire someone to maintain the cleaning at
his new business, he checks to see what Chapter of the group is nearby, and it
just so happens that my Cleaning Company is the one referred to the contract
J- quickly go from small time to big time Landing a seven-figure cleaning

Never stop networking cutting in with other people because you never
know who someone might know that could land you a contract.
At this point you worked so smart (not harder) to get your credit to be
where it needed to be. You organized all your monthly expenses and paid all
your bills on time. You are even waiting on your (FHA) to go through. Your
life has a promising future!
