You'll never believe the juicy tidbits I got from speaking to the one and only Paige Spiranac this week. Our favorite Instagram golf pro turned me through her entire journey growing her brand online - from her humble beginnings to becoming the powerhouse influencer she is today.
We all know Paige didn't achieve fame and success overnight. It took years of hustle, listening to advice, and yes, failing a few times along the way. But she was transparent about the lessons learned through it all. Two of the biggest tips Paige stressed were responding quickly to opportunities and saying YES to as much as possible at first.

"First, respond back quickly and respond back to everything," Spiranac said. "There’s a lot of opportunities that come through your door and always respond back as quickly and as soon as you can.
"Second, say yes to a lot of different opportunities," she told me. "That’s something that I have done throughout my career, where there are times when you’re scared, and you don’t feel like you’re capable, and there is imposter syndrome, and everything is [telling] you, ‘No, don’t do it, don’t do it, don’t do it.’ But the best thing to do is to do it.
Paige also emphasized tolerating more risk in the early days. "Not everything you say yes to is going to be a success. But I’ve learned more from my failures than I have from my successes. So, being able to fail and learn from it and then grow from that as well."
Of course, blowing up also brought its fair share of trolls and haters for Paige. But our hardworking influencer has grown a thick skin over the years. She made focusing on the positives a priority for her mental health.

"I realized I had to step back and do a lot of work on myself to make sure that I was confident in who I was and that I was creating the brand I wanted to create. Over the years, I have realized that it’s OK. People are allowed to have their opinions.
"I honestly think that even sometimes, although it can come off as criticism or hateful, I don’t think a lot of people actually truly mean it in that way. I think, in some way, they’re trying to be helpful. So, even if I get a comment that is critiquing me, I try to hear it out because maybe I can learn from it, I can better myself, or I can adjust."
"Life’s hard. Social media can be a pretty depressing place if you allow yourself to be bothered by those certain things. So, if you just take a step back and see it in a different light, social media can be unbelievably positive and a great community."
So in summary - get responding, say yes to the opportunities, and don’t forget to smile through the noise. Just some expert advice from one of social media's finest. You go, Paige!
