Becoming A Successful Entrepreneur While Spending Most of Your Time Nude

Alright, here it is. The moment I’ve been waiting for—the naked truth about entrepreneurship. And when I say "naked truth," I mean it literally. Like, no clothes on. I’m talking about being fully exposed to the world while running a business. No mask, no layers, no fabric—just you, your idea, and your entirely bare self.

I know, I know. You’re probably thinking, “Kristin, what in the actual world are you talking about?” But hear me out. This isn’t some weird, “you have to bare your soul” kind of metaphorical nonsense. No, I started my yarn business while literally naked. Every. Single. Day. You might be wondering, “How on earth does that even work? How do you sell yarn to people when you’re, well, not exactly dressed for success?” Well, let me tell you, it works. And it works better than you’d think.

You see, I wasn’t always a confident, naked entrepreneur. In fact, the first time I even thought about running my business in the buff, I was standing in my kitchen, covered in yarn, and trying to figure out how to scale my little operation. I was making beautiful, hand-dyed yarns and selling them online—but I was frustrated, stressed, and honestly, a little burnt out. I had every single layer of stress you can imagine: the self-doubt, the fear of failure, the never-ending to-do lists. So one day, while pulling a skein of yarn out of a pot of dye, I thought, What would happen if I just took off all the layers? And I mean all of them.

What if I ran this business… naked?

It was an experiment at first. A little thing to break the cycle. But then it became freedom. I quickly realized that when I was naked—literally—I could think clearer, act bolder, and really connect with my business in a way that I never had before. There was no pretending, no hiding, no masks. Just pure, raw authenticity. And let me tell you, there’s nothing more freeing than running a business where you don’t have to worry about sweating through a blazer during a Zoom call or trying to make your waistband fit after a long lunch.

In this book, I’ll walk you through how I built my yarn business while being unclad at home (and occasionally at markets), from crafting the perfect yarn to handling customer inquiries without hiding behind any walls. I'll share the struggles, the laughs, and some of the downright awkward moments I encountered while growing a business in my natural state.

And don’t worry, I’m not here to make you feel weird about your own choice to wear—or not wear—clothes. What I want to show you is how embracing your true, authentic self can help you build a business that’s not just successful, but fun, fulfilling, and free from the stress of unnecessary societal pressures.

You’re going to read about how I handled meetings while in my birthday suit (spoiler alert: it’s not as awkward as you’d think), how I overcame the challenges of being a naked entrepreneur, and how you can break free from the shackles of clothing to unlock the most creative and successful version of your business self.

So if you’ve ever wondered if it’s possible to build a business while, well, naked—it is. And you don’t need a suit, a fancy office, or even a shirt to get started. All you need is a little courage, a willingness to shed the layers, and a whole lot of yarn (or whatever your business is built on).

Let’s get started, shall we?
