## Resource

James Dyson didn't become a billionaire by selling a sleek vacuum; he became a billionaire by telling the world it took him exactly 5,127 failed prototypes in a backyard shed to build it, proving that hiding your labor is a massive positioning error—if you want to command a premium, high-ticket fee, you have to stop making the difficult look easy and start exposing the raw complexity, hours, and friction it actually took to perfect your results.
