In fact, several of his early business ventures failed and left him broke multiple times before he founded Ford Motor Company Colonel Sanders, the founder of KFC, thought restaurant owners would love to serve his fried chicken to their patrons. Apparently, he was turned away more than 1,000 times before the first restaurant owner said ‘yes.’ Sir James Dyson, founder of Dyson Vacuums, went through over 5,000 failed prototypes and burnt through his life savings doing so. But the 5,127th prototype worked and now the Dyson brand is the best-selling vacuum cleaner in the United States August 12, 2015 SME Capacity building workshop.
