Level 9: Lead Like a CEOLesson 44 of 500

Manage Your Time

Your idea is growing! You are on step 44 of your CEO journey.

Quick intro: every great CEO started exactly where you are — curious and willing to try.

Simple explanation

  • • Manage Your Time is a skill you build with practice, not a talent you are born with.
  • • Take one small action today instead of waiting for the perfect plan.
  • • Write your ideas down — written ideas grow faster.

Real-world example

Maya, age 12, noticed classmates losing water bottles. She made name-tag clips, sold packs for $6.00 each, spent $40.00 on supplies, and used this exact step to grow her idea.

Vocabulary

  • Entrepreneur: a person who solves problems by building something new.
  • Customer: the person your idea helps.
  • Profit: money left after you pay your costs.
