Chris Guillot: Entrepreneurship & Trusting Yourself

Christine "Chris" Guillot is founder of Merchant Method, a boutique consulting agency specializing in teaching independent retailers and manufacturers the retail intelligence they need to navigate strategic growth.

With over 19 years of experience in retailing and manufacturing – and 6 years as an entrepreneur – Chris knows a few things about the unique self-care challenges faced by people on the retail sales floor all day long. She's also had a few ups and downs in her own entrepreneurial and self-care journeys – and I wanted to hear all about them.

We talked about…

• How different kinds of retail environments encourage different levels of self-care (and which types of retailers are better at it)
• How being on the sales floor can actually be an exercise in connection and mindfulness
• The wisdom of being part of the 'okay club' as an entrepreneur (and as a human)
• Chris's personal story of taking a long break from her business, why it was scary, and how she finally came back stronger than ever
