Morley was once a stay-at-home mom with her twin boys, and now she works six days a week. Morley said, luckily, her children have adapted well and actually love visiting their mother’s store. Morley said she also shops differently since opening her shop. Morley said small businesses are the biggest employer across the world, so she tries to support these organizations. Morley said that whenever her family travels, she tries to go to smaller businesses for souvenirs and gifts since she now understands all of the hard work put into creating the business. Morley’s personality has also been affected by the new store. She said she believes she has become a better person through her challenges with the business. Morley said her communi- cation with people has improved as well as her ability to be “savvier with money.” She also said she is more enthusiastic about small successes in her industry. Morley has also worked with various students at Marshall to provide them with opportunities to learn about fashion and the business industry.
