Meanwhile, Corey and his friend bought an expensive hot air balloon for the store. Harrison and his dad are angry at his actions because he spent $38,000 on the balloon without talking it over with his dad and grandpa. Harrison wants Corey to call and undo the trade. At this time the deal is already done and the previous owner of the balloon has already spent the money Corey gave him, to buy another. At this point, Harrison and Corey are trying to figure out what they can do to make a profit with the balloon. In the end, Corey and his friend give rides to customers in the hot air balloon and charge each person for a ride. This describes a reward and punishment. They are out the money until someone wants to possibly buy the hot air balloon which shows the punishment. However, they are able to give customers rides and make some profit while doing so, which describes the reward.

My friends and I went to the mall. We saw a Nike outlet where there were shoes on sale for 20% off. We went in and each of us selected two pairs of shoes. After we were tried the shoes on and was contempt with our decisions, we went to the cashier to pay for the shoes. After we paid for the shoes we left the store and got something to eat. While we were eating, I was looking at the receipt and noticed that the prices for each pair of shoes were not 20% off as advertised outside the store. In fact, they were $30 more than the original price of the shoes. We walked back to the store frustrated. When we came in we saw the cashier and I asked her "So, you like to use the (bait and switch) technique, huh?" She looked at us puzzled and asked what

It all began with an R2-D2 lunchbox and a box of gummy candies that cost a dollar. As a child, I've always had an affinity for making money. Initially, I believed this skill came from my name, Matthew, an apostle who left his great wealth to follow Jesus, or rather the Lord answered my mother who prayed for me to be successful. Nonetheless, the ability to sell and communicate to others came naturally. As I navigated the aisles of foodstuffs contained within the 99-cent stores, I saw not cheap food to consume but rather an opportunity. I stared intently at a brightly covered box of candy and seized it immediately. It was an early Monday morning; I was in the third grade preparing for school. I clutched the R2-D2 lunchbox close to my small chest; it measured no larger than a sheet or paper and no greater height than four inches. I managed to stuff ten packets of gummy bears in that bag that I planned to sell for fifty cents each. As I stepped into Ms. Scott's third-grade class, I immediately advertised wares, within seconds my peers flocked to me like sheep as I announced each aphrodisiac packet of worms cost fifty cents. Within seconds, a dollar investment became five dollars. An overwhelming sense of satisfaction began to take hold, and so began my passion for selling.

I remember when i had to sell chocolates, my mom told me that the chocolate was the nastiest chocolate that she has ever tasted before in her life. She bought some but i had to convince other people that the chocolate is the best tasting chocolate ever. The wrappers looked plain and dull, and the box looked cheap but inside was a tasty treat a chocolate bar that you would never want to stop eating. In the beginning people did not want to buy it, but due to the words i sold and the way i showed them made their heads turn and their minds think. All because i did everything in a good way and was confident about what i had to
