Mindset Matters
In 2017, a grade 6/7 class in Surrey, British Columbia participated in the 6-week PowerPlay Young Entrepreneurs program. The students were challenged to create their own businesses and were responsible for making their own decisions.
Mindset Matters is a film documenting their journey as this class moves through the PowerPlay Young Entrepreneurs program. Focusing on four students, Josh, Emma, Abel and Muhamet, each of whom has unique social and educational needs, Mindset Matters highlights the depth of personal and academic growth students experience while working through the program.

The Power of an Entrepreneurial Mindset
When we help youth to develop an entrepreneurial mindset, we empower them to be successful in our rapidly changing world. Whether they own a business or work for someone else, young adults need the skills and confidence to identify opportunities, solve problems and sell their ideas. This skill set can be encouraged and developed in elementary schools, with the immediate benefit of increased success in school.
In this talk, Bill Roche shares stories of students that have created their own real business ventures with PowerPlay Young Entrepreneurs. He illustrates the power of enabling students to take charge of their learning with freedom to make mistakes, and challenging them to actively develop entrepreneurial skills. Bill also showcases the achievements of specific students and shares how a transformative experience for one student has been a source of inspiration for him over the years.
