Jophiel grew up on a ranch in Paradise Valley, Montana near Chico Hot Springs. Working on the ranch instilled work ethic and self motivation. Filled with this drive, Jophiel started mowing the local school's yards twice a month throughout the summers, at the age of 12. He moved to Billings in 2004, where he has been deeply involved in the local business community ever since. A serial entrepreneur, Jophiel has ran multiple businesses in our local community. The first business, a janitorial and carpet cleaning company, founded in 2005, has employed over 50 locals. Moving on to the media industry, Jophiel and several partners founded Green Directory Montana in the spring of 2007. Green Directory's sustainability ranking software awarded points based on sustainable or "green" actions. These points counted towards a business's total "Green Score," which in turn ranked them against other businesses in their category and throughout the entire site. It also featured a limited edition print version distributed annually. A business acquisition allowed Jophiel to focus on new projects, and a few close business colleagues and Jophiel started Rocky Mountain Mr. & Ms. Magazine, a lifestyle publication for men and women in the Magic City. After a year and a half at the helm of RM3 Magazine, the business was purchased. He now runs a web development company SkyPoint Studios and fathers his son Jaoquin, who plays football, basketball, soccer, and is learning snowboarding from his dad. Recently, has expanded to locations in Havasu, Arizona & Vegas. SkyPoint Studios is a market leader in both Billings & Havasu and Jophiel is working on building that same level of market dominance in Vegas. Specialties: Extensive experience in online and offline business. Especially savvy at WordPress, and operate several sites, one example is the blog: skypointwebdesignbillingsmontana.com/tech-blog.

SEARCH OPTIMIZATION











There’s many different ways to build your business, one of the best ways I’ve found is networking. When it comes to networking there are many different groups out there from the Chamber to Biz to Biz, but they’re all pretty much the same.
They have a structurized flow to them and they focus on getting leads and following certain rules. If those rules aren’t followed then there’s penalties like having to put a dollar in a box for example.
I want to talk today about a networking group that breaks all those rules in a good way. ENG or Executive Networking Group is a bunch of business owners and leaders who get together every Wednesday morning for breakfast and coffee and discuss ways of building their business and dealing with the challenges that come with being the boss.

Just this morning we discussed some great ways to handle employee morale and to deal with cold calling in the best manner possible. It was a very enlightening session and everyone shared some good concepts and ideas.
What’s neat about this networking group is that the focus isn’t necessarily on getting leads out of the group, but relationship building instead. We all know that relationships are how business gets made not just because of a membership in a group. It’s always because the person truly wants to do business with you.
So with that introduction I’d like to share the members of the group and invite you to come visit if you’re in Billings. Here is all the members of the group with their contact information and links to their website:
