A few months ago, I set a goal to sell 100 websites before the end of the year for two reasons:

• To get out of debt
• To help local businesses and entrepreneurs

I truly believed that lowering the price, something like 2,000 Mexican pesos, or around $100 USD, would make that possible. Looking back, I can see how naive I was. I focused on selling something technical instead of really listening to what businesses needed, and I went after people who, in hindsight, weren’t ready or able to invest in a website because it wasn’t the right solution for them at that moment.

From October until today, I only sold 5 websites. Writing that is uncomfortable. It feels like failure, and for a while I let that sit heavily on me. I felt embarrassed, frustrated, and honestly disappointed in myself.

But I also realize now that this experience gave me something I didn’t have before: clarity. I need to learn how to sell websites and web systems as real solutions to real business problems, to companies that can afford them and will actually benefit from them. Because of that, I’m no longer going to sell websites for 2,000 pesos.

Instead of rushing to sell 100 websites in 100 days, I’m giving myself all of 2026 to do it right, with prices starting at 6,000 pesos. I’m choosing patience over pressure, learning over shortcuts, and progress over perfection.

This didn’t break my motivation. It strengthened it. I’m still here, still learning, and more committed than ever to building something sustainable, valuable, and aligned with the kind of professional I want to become.
