Long before Dyson’s DC-07 vacuum cleaner appeared on the U.S. market in 2002, Dyson said he went through 5,127 failed prototypes before he got the bagless, cyclonic system to work properly. “You learn from failures. You don’t learn from successes,” Dyson said. “You’ve got to go through that failure to learn how to succeed. So although I had 5,126 failures, I don’t regret any of them because I learned so much from them and it got me to the final solution.” Today, Dyson’s empire is worth an estimated $4 billion, ranking him among the 300 richest people in the world.
