(Editor’s note: In the interview, Mec Caras mentioned that the Herbalife Nutrition Foundation raised almost USD 1 billion in 2022. The correct amount is USD 1 million)

Herbalife Nutrition, a premier global nutrition company, has released the results of its 2022 Asia Pacific entrepreneur survey. Overwhelmingly, respondents agreed that a secret to success is resilience and the ability to seize opportunities to learn and improve. The key findings from this survey showed that 90% of respondents said, “people who want to be successful can’t be afraid to make mistakes,” and 87% don’t believe they’d be where they are today if they stopped trying after making a mistake.

The company’s fourth annual survey aimed to examine entrepreneurship trends and attitudes towards resilience among 4,000 small business owners and employees and was conducted by One Poll in Australia, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam, with respondents ranging from Generation Z to the Boomer generation.
