@SahilBloom Don’t drive behind or beside trucks carrying a load of anything (ladders, mattresses, boxes,machines, pipes, wood, etc .) or trucks with big metal bumpers, plates or back because they have no give.

@JulieChangRE That’s right up there with people who go to restaurant dinner with a group and orders the most expensive and more and drinks more top shelf alcohol than anyone else then wants to divide the bill equally.

@BoilerPlateCPA Remote accountants just want to get their work done. As the biz owner, you want the work done by deadline so clients get invoiced. Bring them together qtrly to celebrate qtr success. If they want more collaborate, they will. Accounting work is one of the easiest to measure.

From Microsoft employee to finding €50K villas in Europe.

In the summer of 2024, I decided to share every gem I discover and that's how @affordihome was born.

Let me be crystal clear - I'm not a realtor. I'm a Property Finder, and there's a huge difference.

While realtors work for sellers and push their own portfolio for commission, I analyze Europe's real estate markets to spot genuine opportunities for buyers like you. Whether you're dreaming of a charming vacation home or looking for your next investment property, I focus on finding places with real potential.

Truth is, I don't make a cent from these property posts or if you buy them. My only income comes from newsletter sponsorships, where I share the most exciting finds across Spain, Italy, France and Portugal each week.

Why do I do this?

Back in 2018, I took a leap that changed everything..left my cushy job at Microsoft, packed our family @anastasia_neg into a car, and swapped rainy Dublin for sunny Spain. Trading grey skies for 300 days of sunshine wasn't just about better weather, it transformed our whole lifestyle. Morning beach swims replaced traffic jams, long walks replaced screen time, and suddenly we were living, not just existing.

During our two years there, we didn't just live the dream but turned it into a business. Bought our first property with a tourist license for short-term rentals, then another in Italy which we later flipped for a profit. Since then I helped some of my friends and family do the same and that's when I realised that I was actually enjoying it.

Now I spend my days hunting for properties that could change someone else's life, just like that first Spanish home changed mine. Every week, I share the most promising finds in my newsletter..from sun-soaked village homes to properties with great investment potential.

Since the launch, I've had plenty of offers to take this project in different directions and I'm still thinking in terms of the next steps. But for now? I just want to keep doing what I love..finding and sharing these incredible properties, growing @affordihome by providing real value to people who share this dream.

Thank you all for reading and engaging with my content.

It's what keeps me going. Peace.

The Weight and the Wisdom

The longer you lead, the more you carry.

The wiser you get, the less noise you allow.

What weight are you setting down this week
to create space for clearer thinking?

[Miabella Galvan @MsMiaGalvan]

@girdley The decade long podcasts say 45-50 minutes, the length of an average walk or workout.

I’ve listened to longer ones on drives.

[Miabella Galvan @MsMiaGalvan]

You already know how to do.

Leading at $5M, $10M, $25M? It’s about being.

Structure that fits you. Instincts you trust.

CEO Leading, not CEO Doing.

@russellbrunson Chief Confidant

I’ve been a consultant, advisor and confidant to over 100 business owners who are also the CEO, Chief Executive Officer.

So Chief Confidant became the name for my private advisory work with business owners-CEOs leading private companies in the $1.5M-$50M ARR.

[Miabella Galvan @MsMiaGalvan]

@TigsTown @BarbellFi Contrary to popular belief by people not yet 50, there is no real energy difference between 25 and 35 or 45 and 55. There are values and priority shifts that happen in that age range.

Having 10 years more life experiences, knowledge and money is a benefit to parents and kids.

[Miabella Galvan @MsMiaGalvan]

A trusted advisor who knows what it’s like to lead at this level

That’s why I built Chief Confidant.

It’s not about pushing to the next thing.
It’s about helping women protect what they’ve built—and choose what’s next with clarity, not pressure.

[Miabella Galvan @MsMiaGalvan]

High-level women don’t need more input.

They need space to think—with someone who knows how to think with them.

Most of the women I work with don’t need a playbook.
They’re not stuck.
They’re not “holding themselves back.”

They’re accomplished, experienced, and…

[Miabella Galvan @MsMiaGalvan]

carrying more than they let on.

What they don’t need:

More accountability check-ins
Another online program
Someone trying to coach them into “showing up bigger”

What they do need:

A clear space to think
A sounding board who doesn’t have skin in the game

@girdley 2004-2024 Subaru Outback.

Gave it to my sis in Jan 2025 as second car.

Damn thing is still running with just scheduled maintenance and replaced a/c compressor a few years ago.

[Miabella Galvan @MsMiaGalvan]

@SecretCFO At $2M ARR, if they have more than 1-3 KPIs per functional area, it’s overkill. 12-15 KPIs max?

So an excel spreadsheet.
