Recommendation
James Dyson tells the remarkable story of how he brought his iconic bagless, cyclonic vacuum to market. The incredible patience and perseverance the British inventor displayed along the way is even more astounding than his invention. He took unimaginable risks and suffered painful setbacks to make his dream come true. In a last-ditch effort to get the vacuum into production, Dyson risked everything, mortgaging his home to secure the necessary financing. Brilliant, driven, and eternally optimistic, he was determined to triumph no matter how long it took. Aspiring entrepreneurs clinging to the myth of achieving “overnight success” can learn a lifetime of lessons here.
