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. 

Paige Spiranac believes her past helped her frame a better future

In her podcast, ‘Playing a Round with Paige Renee’, Spiranac shared five things she learned about golf and five about business. And she explained how her failure as a professional golfer paved the way for her to become a successful businesswoman. 

“There has been a couple of things that I’ve done that haven’t worked out exactly the way that I’ve wanted them to,” Spiranac said in her podcast. “My golf career being one of them.” She explained that if it wasn’t for golf, she would never have chosen the 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.” 

Spiranac’s bumpy road to success

As of now, she is the most followed golfer on Instagram. She receives endorsements from several brands like PointsBet, Shot Scope, Club Champion, etc.
