CHESTERFIELD TOWNSHIP — Lisa Bugg’s journey from independent insurance agent to co-owner of a AAA Entrepreneur Agency began with faith, tenacity and a desire to help others succeed.
She earned the entrepreneur agent designation in 2020—a title that’s difficult to obtain because candidates must pass multiple exams and undergo rigorous background checks.
“As the only AAA Entrepreneur Agency in Chesterfield, we serve the population of Michigan with life, annuity, home, auto, RV and motorcycle insurance, as much of our business is conducted online and over the phone,” Bugg said. “AAA is the leading motor club group in North America, with 60 million members in the United States and Canada.”
Bugg said she owes much of her success to her spiritual foundation. “I meditate on scripture daily, especially Joshua 1:8 and Colossians 3:23,” she added. “Those verses tell us that we should work as if we are working for the Lord. That’s what guides me in serving others.”
As a certified John Maxwell mentor—trained in Maxwell’s principles of servant leadership—Bugg uses her platform to empower women in business. “A lot of women are afraid to take chances or start something new,” she said. “I mentor women, especially stay-at-home moms who want to try part-time work. God gave me the ability to coach and encourage others.”
With a true servant’s heart, Bugg is committed to supporting her community through entrepreneurship training, helping survivors of domestic abuse through Covenant Christian Church International and serving on the board of the Philippine American Community Center of Michigan to uplift fellow minorities in business.
“Weekly entrepreneurship seminars are currently in the works, and we hold monthly meetings for women who have been abused or battered,” she said. “If someone knows a woman in need, we have a program to help her heal, grow and become a blessing to the community.”
Bugg’s agency also represents MEEMIC (Michigan Educational Employees Mutual Insurance Company), a wholly owned subsidiary of Auto Club Insurance Association, which is part of AAA. “We have insurance products tailored specifically to the needs of educators and school employees in the community,” she said.
