If you have something up your sleeve, you have some hidden or secret plan, idea, etc, to use to your advantage when the time is right.
For evolving your personal and your professional life it’s better to talk to your partner/s and coming to agreement about crucial and different frames:
– values
– goal
– process
– action plan
– resources
– performance standard
– risk
– relationship
– money
– ecc…
Do that and you get away with a lot of traps!

Everyone as best as he can!
