Scared of a major change, like pricing, brand, or target audience? That’s a natural feeling. But remember that 99.99% of your future customers haven’t heard of you yet. So, approximately no one cares. Whether it succeeds or fails and you revert. So do it.

Jason Cohen dropped a truth bomb for marketers: almost no one’s watching that closely. If you need to change pricing, brand, or audience, just do it.

Why this works

  • Most people haven’t even heard of your brand yet
  • Big changes feel risky to you, invisible to others
  • Iteration beats inertia—speed matters
  • You can always reverse a bad change

Real-world proof

  • Slack started as a gaming company before pivoting to chat, now worth billions
  • YouTube was a dating site before going full video sharing
  • Mailchimp shifted from agency tool to SMB email giant
  • Netflix went from DVD rentals to streaming to production

Nobody cared about the switch until it worked.
