Hm. This meme is debatable. Studies say that when you announce your future plans, it may compel you to actually do something to achieve it. However, we all know that when you say things to some 'friends', they'll try to drag you down while you're on your ladder to success. Who wants a friend that's better than them, right. Pure human nature.
In my opinion, one needs confidantes. And whom better than the person you love most. Share your dreams, goals, plans, and get that person to buy in to it too. Working with a loved one is beneficial to both, and together one can accomplish great things. Most if not all the world's biggest winners all had a husband or wife supporting them. You require a sounding board, a friendly critic that's more objective than you, to point out flaws and pitfalls, and give some ideas on how to overcome those. But together you'll win.
