Did  you know that it took James Dyson 5 years and 5,127 prototypes to invent the Dyson vacuum? But that was just the beginning of his battle to bring it to market. One by one, short-sighted multi-national companies rejected James' idea. Even when they were satisfied that the technology worked, none of them truly listened. They were more interested in defending their own product - and making a pretty profit from the lucrative vacuum cleaner bag market.

There's a misconception that invention is about having a great idea, tinkering with it in the tool shed for a few days, then appearing with the finished design. In fact, it's usually a far longer and iterative process - trying something over and over, changing one small variable at a time.  Trial and error.
