Opis

"The 5,127th Try - How failing five thousand times built an empire" is the biography of an invention: the bagless vacuum cleaner. James Dyson was frustrated that his Hoover lost suction as the bag filled up. He had an idea for a "cyclone" mechanism, but no money and no engineering degree.Business writer David Hall chronicles the grueling 15-year journey. Dyson built 5,126 prototypes in his backyard shed. He faced bankruptcy and lawsuits from established giants who wanted to crush his idea to protect their lucrative dust-bag market.This book is a masterclass in resilience. It shows that "overnight success" is a myth. Dyson's 5,127th prototype finally worked, creating a multi-billion dollar company. It teaches entrepreneurs that failure is not the opposite of success, but the raw material of it.

The inspiring story of James Dyson, who built 5,126 failed prototypes over 15 years before finally creating the bagless vacuum cleaner.
