Burgers to bangles to gas pipes- A lifelong business lesson. Join us on this episode of Service Business Mastery as Tersh and Josh dive into the inspiring story of Lori Tschohl, winner of the 2022 Service World Woman of the Year Award. From owning McDonald’s franchises to running a successful HVAC business, Lori shares her secrets to success and the importance of networking and continuous learning.
While Lori’s journey from fast food to fine jewelry was unconventional, her leap into the trades industry was quite unexpected. With no experience, she faced challenges head-on, determined to succeed. Through networking and mentorship with Women in HVACR, Lori found the support and inspiration necessary to grow her business and empower other women. Her story is a testament to the power of continuous learning and leadership, even in unfamiliar territory. But what unexpected twist will she encounter next?
