Climb The Mountain To Entrepreneurship: Taylor Ping Aims To Help Others Reach It
Most people dream of becoming an entrepreneur. Creating a successful business requires dedication, hard work, and a combination of knowledge and skill. However, the rewards make it worth it.
Dr. Dre is a prime example of an entrepreneur who saw a gap in the market and took the opportunity. In 2014, he used his influence, reputation, and resources to acquire Beats Music and Beats Electronics and turn them into one of the world’s most successful music streaming services and headphone companies.
Similarly, Vanilla Ice became an accidental real estate mogul, flipping houses and making a profit at a time when the market was booming. He quickly developed a knack for renovating and reselling homes, eventually launching his television show, The Vanilla Ice Project.
As the CEO and founder of Hierarchy Media, Taylor Ping has established a reputation for her work as an entrepreneur, advocate for women’s entrepreneurship, educator, and public relations professional. As a business expert, she provides advice on public relations strategy, business structure, venture capital investing, venture capital funding, and venture capital structure, among other things.
Throughout her career, Taylor has worked with and mentored young entrepreneurs looking for strategies to start their businesses, how to begin with no capital effectively, and providing advice to companies seeking capital partners, funding, global brand expansion, etc.
There Is A Passion Behind Every Entrepreneur
“It is my passion and mission to speak to and reach more young women and men who are looking for real advice on how to expand their business into a realistic, impactful and unique experience to the consumer,” Ping said. “Everything I do is to empower others.”

With a global business group called The Risen Group, the 26-year-old entrepreneur offers a wide range of business and investment opportunities. As part of its mission, the group brings together a private network of people who want to improve this world.
Rather than focusing on money, Taylor is passionate about helping more people learn the ins and outs of business and marketing. As a rule, she only takes on clients offering impactful products or services with inspirational stories. “My passion for what I do is what helped me not stop what I was doing and persevere when challenges came up that made me feel like I wouldn’t be able to overcome them… passion is what will ensure you don’t give up,” Ping said.
Adversity Shaped Taylor Ping’s Character
During the 2007 market crash, the self-made woman entrepreneur’s parents divorced when she was very young. As a result of her parent’s divorce and the tumultuous market, Ping learned invaluable lessons about resilience and the power of hard work. Furthermore, Taylor Ping witnessed her father build his own business at an early age. She has also seen firsthand how things beyond their control can negatively impact their lives. With this in mind, she worked hard and built her own businesses to set her family financially free.
Many women in business face everyday struggles such as being underestimated, not being taken seriously, and facing gender bias. For Taylor, this battle was the key to her success. Without it, she would not be in the position she is in today.
After receiving multiple large clients for her media company several years ago, Ping put an end to taking small risks and talking down to herself. It became apparent to her that the knowledge she had to share could generate a 10x increase in their income and help the companies become notable, impactful brands in their industry.
Taylor had also been featured in Forbes magazine as one of the top 10 entrepreneurs who had chosen a business mission that inspired others.

Providing Men and Women With Advice
Ping offers valuable advice to women and men who want to build successful businesses. “I especially speak to other women who have not had a mentor give knowledge to the extent I do,” she said. She states that young women have difficulty finding mentors in business because they are vastly underrepresented. Nevertheless, Taylor believes more women will be able to start their own businesses and make more impact in all industries with dedication and guidance.
“An entrepreneur without passion is not an entrepreneur. He is a slave to society, putting out services or products that the world does not need or does not connect with because he himself does not believe in it,” the woman entrepreneur said.
