As you start out as a street thug, you'll see that energy goes
fast and you need a lot of tools to run your crime organization.
Use your profile points at first to go all toward your energy. In
the initial stages of the game there is almost no fighting so put
everything you've got initially into boosting the amount of
energy you have.
Go to your inventory and pick up the basic weapons you'll need.
The required tools are displayed on the same line as the job and
when an item is red it means you either don't have it or need
more of that particular item to do the job. Go ahead and buy
everything you need to start those jobs except for maybe the
motorcycle to pull the 'Rob a Pimp' job. You can save that one
for last if you prefer because the motorcycle has upkeep and we
haven't talked about optimizing your cash flow yet.
Do the jobs that cost more energy first. If you want to build up
some cash faster, pull the job 'Collect on a Loan' because it
pays high and the energy cost is very low. Don't waste your
high energy on the small jobs like mugging, save that for when
your energy has all run out and it recharges little by little. Then
pull the small jobs.
Focus on just one job at a time as much as possible until
you've mastered it. Once you master a job you're given bonus
points which you can use to get more energy for more jobs.
It's entirely up to you how many point you allocate to energy.
You don't need to get more stamina for fights because it
recharges fast and all fights only cost 1 stamina, but energy
costs are high so you need a lot of it.
Once you master all the jobs in a section, the jobs will restart at
the next level. So you'll need to redo all the jobs again to
remaster at the higher level.
As you do jobs, you'll pick up lots of goodies and bonuses. This
is the good thing about doing a bunch of jobs before jumping
into fights. Save the fights until you've got a sizeable mafia and
some good weapons and defenses in place.
Avoid the temptation for revenge while you're running jobs.
Sometimes you'll be attacked. Let it go while you build your
mafia's business stronger. Become strong first and then you
can pick on weaker mafias all day long.

hang on to them. Don't waste your energy pulling the little jobs
all the time. When you have lots of energy, pull the big energy jobs first
and then do the little ones later. The big ones give you more
experience and you'll be able to recharge your energy quicker
by advancing a level.
