Should You Share Your Goals?

I've never shared my new years goals with someone.

But this year I did.

And the response was interesting…

But before I share that, I've gone back and forth on if you should share your goals.

Maybe you've decided this is the year you're going to do something besides work, start a morning routine, hit the gym consistently, or finally start writing the blog. 

Telling people could:

  • Hold you accountable

  • Give them a chance to support you

  • Provide you constructive feedback from someone who knows a lot about you or your goal

 

But there is also:

  • Fear of judgement of someone giving the "The Look" of you're crazy

  • Not constructive feedback from someone who knows nothing about you or your goal

  • Extra pressure to make it happen

 

Rightfully so - it's scary enough for you to say your goals out loud, let alone tell someone else.

But for my 2025 goals, I did tell people. 

People who:

  1. Know me

  2. Are goal-oriented themselves

  3. Won't give me "The Look"

  4. Believe in me sometimes even more than I believe in myself

 

The result:

  1. Encouragement

  2. A challenge to be more measurable

  3. Questions on what I'm going to tackle first & when

  4. Shared interest in my goal

 

So should you share your goals?

Based on my experience - it's being selective about who.

Tell people who are going to help push you forward, not hold you back.

Whether you decide to share or not, remember…

  1. You aren't crazy

  2. Your goals aren't crazy

  3. There is no better year than this year to make them happen
