How can you build on your strengths, grow your business and make more money? It’s all about mindset!
As a business owner, you need to have your head in the game to stay competitive. Having an “entrepreneurial mindset” can help you make good decisions, be confident in your abilities and plan for change.
Women’s Enterprise Centre (WEC) and Northern Development Initiative Trust (NDIT) have partnered to help business owners in the north assess and improve their entrepreneurial mindset to realize their business potential.
Through this partnership, 100 Entrepreneurial Mindset Grants will be provided to Northern entrepreneurs – women and men – so they can develop the thought and behavior that drives business growth.
ABOUT THE ENTREPRENEURIAL MINDSET GRANT

Mindset Grants are limited to 25 per Northern Development region (Cariboo-Chilcotin Lillooet Region, Prince George Region, Northeast Region, Northwest Region).
GRANT ELIGIBILITY
