There are two schools of though wrt sharing your goals with others. The conventional wisdom has been to share your goals with others (if not the whole world). The more recent contradictory idea of Derek Sivers is to keep your goals to yourself.

“Telling someone your goals makes them less likely to happen”

vs

“Tell everyone what you want to do & someone will want to help you do it”
W.C.Stone

I personally am in favour of the school of thought that encourages one to share her goals. I believe this practice builds accountability and increases the chances of others helping you reach your goal. The one take away for me from Derek Sivers idea, is that we need to be aware that our minds can be tricked into a state of inaction by sharing our goals with others.

What works for you?
