Never tell anyone your goals. I don't know why it works, but it does.

Show up at work on Monday having run a marathon the day before. Don't let people even know that you run or started running. Once you make yourself the only audience that matters you have everything you need

Not saying this is wrong, but the opposite can sometimes help. Speaking your goal outwardly and telling people can help you commit to it, and avoid saying why it didn't work. Possibly even proving some people wrong.

Still, I agree with you because this is not always the case. Plenty of things I want to do for myself, other things some people just don't care about, so why bring it up.

Having a good core group of friends help with this too, being able to share your goals with like minded people is awesome

Yes I feel like if you tell others before, you're kinda already getting the reward before doing the work. More fun to have done it already.

Hustling in secret does weird things to you. It's super addictive and great when people to come to know you've secretly achieved so much!

Totally agree with this, I feel like if you tell someone what your goals are something in your mind already feels like it’s been accomplished.

Now I do the same just continue to grind and let them know after I have completed what I set out to do.
