These Successful Women Were Bullied As Kids, And You Can Kinda Understand Why

Marjorie Liddell, 42, owns a chain of coffee shops

Marjorie Liddell is a born leader with a near-impossible schedule who stays on top of it all by staying one step ahead of the game. She’s expanded her business every year since its inception by never taking ‘no’ for an answer. And if you dodge her calls, she will just keep calling. It’s like, she doesn't even seem to notice how awkward she's making things! Always eager for a challenge, Liddell even skipped third and sixth grades, which kind of explains why she didn’t have any friends in high school. So, yeah, she’s a successful over-achiever, but you can totally see why she was mercilessly bullied as a child, right? Like, it makes sense.
