Paige Spiranac is one of the most successful social media influencers in the golf world. She has amassed over 10 million followers across all social media platforms. From getting picked as the Sexiest Woman Alive to receiving international sponsorships, it is easier to say that the 29-year-old has quickly become one of the epitomes of success. 

All successful individuals go on to taste the bitterness of failure at least once during their lives. And Spiranac has done that too. Although she is a world-renowned star now, there was a time when she didn’t have any light in her career. However, as the famous theoretical physicist Albert Einstein once said, “Failure is success in progress,” Spiranac finds that all the darkness in her life led to the bright career she has now.

“Sometimes, even trying something new and failing will lead you to even more success,” the former pro-golfer said. “So you can’t be afraid to fail you can’t be afraid to try. And again, it might not work,” she added. “But every failure is going to lead you one step closer to success.”
