The true measure of success (Rico Gomez)

In this episode, Rico Gomez, founder of NeuroFit, discusses his journey from battling personal mental health challenges to building a successful mental wellness company. The company's signature eight-session Mental Mess Programme helps professionals address underlying causes of mental health issues rather than just managing symptoms.

Rico emphasises their focus on achieving measurable results, setting them apart in the mental health space. He shares how they've expanded from one-on-one coaching to group programmes and corporate training, now with four trained facilitators. Their approach uses practical analogies like the 'crack house' metaphor to explain how they renovate toxic thought patterns into healthy ones.

Looking ahead to 2025, NeuroFit is streamlining their services to focus on developing emotionally intelligent business leaders through quarterly programmes. Rico discusses the importance of time and energy management, recommending working during your peak 'green zone' hours when mental capacity is highest.

The conversation touches on Rico's business evolution, including their move to new premises in Petone and the launch of their Social Club initiative for community building. He shares valuable insights about transitioning from employment to entrepreneurship, stressing the importance of validating market needs before launching and partnering with credible names to build authority.

Throughout the episode, Rico's practical, results-focused approach to mental wellness and business growth shines through, underpinned by his belief that success comes from consistently doing what's right rather than chasing specific outcomes.
