Today I had the pleasure of interviewing Joey Mac Dizon, owner of The Mobile Cigar Lounge.
Welcome, Joey! Thank you for taking the time to speak with me.

Tell me a bit about your company.
The Mobile Cigar Lounge is 100% Veteran-owned and operated by myself and two of my partners. The company was founded in September of 2018 through our combined love for cigars and the unique experience it provides. We wanted to bring the sense of camaraderie that we got in the military along with that memorable experience to the civilian aspect. Special celebrations such as weddings, birthdays, and retirements. It’s pretty amazing how cigars and their scents can take people back to some fond memories – maybe it was your grandfather or father who smoked cigars when you were younger and the smell just transports you back to a good place.

Giving Back and Serving Well with Joey Mac Dizon

Joey Mac Dizon of The Mobile Cigar Lounge. He is the co-founder and CEO of the New Jersey based Mobile Cigar Lounge where they bring the cigar experience to events and roll premium cigars in person.

The best part of entrepreneurship is taking what you LOVE and forming a business model in which you get paid to do that thing.

You always have to be a student. Even if you’ve already ear it before, you may pick up something different the second go-around.

Get a mentor, someone who’s in your industry and excelling in business. Get someone who has been through where you are and can help guide you to avoid wasting time, money and energy.

Treat every client as if they are your only client. Give them the attention they deserve.

Before you think about scaling your business, think about if you’ll be able to keep the same level of client experience when you bring in a higher volume of clients.

Extinguish any fires that may come up even before they start up. If it looks like you won’t be hitting a deadline, reach out days before that deadline and give them an update. Don’t wait until they realize that you missed the deadline.

Giving back to your community and to charities should be a necessity. Younger generations are focusing on businesses that give back. We want our money to do more than just buy things.

Serve as if you’re working for 1 person or for 1 Million.
