Telling a room about a plan invites the room to improve it. Most of the advice will be well meant and shaped by lives that are not yours, and the sheer volume can blur an idea that was clear when you started. Every opinion also needs answering, which costs the time the plan needed.

Choose one or two people whose judgment you actually want and ask them specifically. Let everyone else find out when it is done or clearly underway. You can be open about your life and still keep the unfinished part to yourself.
