Entrepreneur and founder of Improve Business Solutions, Lunar Loussia, is calling on fellow business owners to double down on mentorship, community service, and people-first leadership after being featured in a new business spotlight titled “Lunar Loussia’s Rise: From Family Storefronts to Business Scale-Up.” The article traces Loussia’s journey from working in his father’s grocery store to leading a company with 240 employees and over 1,500 clients.
“This isn’t about fame or ego. It’s about using your success to lift others,” said Loussia. “I wouldn’t be here without the people who guided me, including my cousin Mazin. I want other business owners to think: Who are you bringing up behind you?”
In the interview, Loussia shares insights from his early career at Wild Bill’s Tobacco, his decade-long expansion as an AT&T franchisee, and the launch of Improve Business Solutions. But the heart of the conversation centers on giving back, particularly through team-building, junior mentorship, and service to local nonprofits.
Why This Message Matters
Small businesses make up 99.9% of U.S. businesses, employing over 61.6 million Americans. Yet only 30% of small business owners say they have access to a mentor, according to SCORE’s 2024 report. Loussia believes that gap is hurting entrepreneurs, employees, and communities.
“We celebrate success stories, but we don’t talk enough about the scaffolding behind them — mentors, churches, coaches, role models,” Loussia said. “Mentorship isn’t a luxury. It’s a responsibility.”
He also emphasized the importance of philanthropy through action, not just donations. Loussia and his company currently support more than 20 nonprofit organizations, including St. Peter’s Catholic Church, Sharia’s Closet, RIP Medical Debt, and Adopt a Refugee.
“I tell my kids — don’t just give money. Show up. Roll your sleeves up. Let people see your face, your care. That’s what sticks,” he added.
A Call to Other Business Owners: Take One Step
Loussia’s message is simple: invest in people first. That might mean mentoring a young employee, volunteering locally, or partnering with a nonprofit that aligns with your company values.
“You don’t need to start a foundation,” he said. “Start by helping one person grow. Help one nonprofit feed a few more families. Help one employee learn something new. That’s the ripple effect that changes things.”
He also urges business owners to think critically about what they associate their brand with, noting his own choice to stay away from potential investments that he found lacked integrity.
“I’ve worked hard to build a business with integrity. Not every dollar is worth chasing,” he stated.
