A question often asked is how Lightyear can offer such low prices, such as the $59.99/mo unlimited text, talk & web cell phone plan. One reason lies in the fact that Lightyear doesn't advertise at all; the company relies on representatives working their businesses and word of mouth to attract new customers, neither of which costs the company a dime.

In stark contrast, other wireless companies spend up to several billion dollars a year in advertising. According to a New York Times article, in 2010 AT&T spent $2.09 billion, Verizon $1.82 billion, and Sprint Nextel $1.06 billion in advertising. The fact that Lightyear does not spend billions, or even millions, in advertising is one of the main reasons such low prices can be offered to Lightyear customers.

Although it is possible to make a lot of money with Lightyear Wireless quickly, we are not a get-rich-quick scheme. Lightyear Wireless is a business and, like every other business owner, the amount of money a Lightyear Wireless representative makes is directly proportional to the amount of time and effort they put into growing their business.

This is most definitely not the case and is a terrible mindset to have when joining our company. You can become wealthy and achieve financial freedom through Lightyear Wireless, but make no mistake, as a business owner it takes a lot of hard work and perseverance to make your business successful.

About Perseverance

Running a business is hard. There’s no way around that fact. Business owners are faced with difficult decisions, tough challenges and criticism every day. Many people – even those who know you well – will likely tell you that you can’t own your own business, or that it’s impossible for you to be successful with this company. However, if you are determined to be successful, you can be.

Many people have misconceptions about Lightyear Wireless because we are a network marketing company. Common misconceptions about the business include that we are:

• A scam,
