Viktor , we’re so excited for our community to get to know you and learn from your journey and the wisdom you’ve acquired over time. Let’s kick things off with a discussion on self-confidence and self-esteem. How did you develop yours?
Developing confidence and self-esteem has been a journey of self-discovery for me. Firstly, my athletic career, particularly as a three-time world champion in cross country, has played a significant role. The discipline, hard work, and resilience required to excel in sports have instilled in me a sense of accomplishment and belief in my abilities.
Additionally, my experiences as a professional boxer have taught me invaluable lessons about perseverance and mental toughness. Stepping into the ring, facing challenges head-on, and overcoming setbacks have all contributed to shaping my confidence.

Finally, my journey as a life coach has deepened my understanding of self-worth and empowered me to help others unlock their full potential. By guiding individuals through their own personal growth journeys, I’ve gained a deeper appreciation for the importance of self-love and acceptance.
Overall, my confidence and self-esteem have been cultivated through a combination of athletic achievement, personal growth experiences, and the opportunity to inspire and uplift others.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
As a multifaceted individual, I’ve found my passion in various domains, each of which adds a unique dimension to my story.
First and foremost, my career as a professional boxer has been a central focus. Boxing has not only provided me with a platform to showcase my skills and athleticism but has also taught me invaluable lessons about discipline, resilience, and determination. Through my boxing career, I aim to inspire others to pursue their dreams relentlessly and never give up in the face of adversity.
In addition to my athletic pursuits, I’m deeply invested in personal development and coaching. As a life coach, I work with individuals to help them unlock their full potential, overcome obstacles, and achieve their goals. I believe in the power of mindset and personal growth to transform lives, and I’m dedicated to supporting others on their journey towards self-improvement and fulfillment.
Furthermore, my presence as a social media influencer allows me to connect with a global audience and share insights, inspiration, and motivation. Through my content, I strive to uplift and empower others, spreading positivity and encouragement in an often chaotic world.
Looking ahead, I’m excited to continue expanding my brand and reaching even more people with my message of resilience, self-belief, and personal growth. Whether it’s through boxing, coaching, or social media, my mission remains the same: to inspire and empower others to become the best versions of themselves.
As for what’s new, I’m constantly exploring opportunities to collaborate with like-minded individuals and organizations, as well as launching new initiatives to further support my community. Stay tuned for updates on upcoming events, product launches, and expansion plans as I continue to evolve and grow both personally and professionally.

Three Most Important Qualities, Skills and/or Areas of Knowledge
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
ChatGPT
Reflecting on my journey, three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge stand out as particularly impactful:
Resilience: The ability to bounce back from setbacks and persevere in the face of challenges has been crucial in my journey. Whether it was facing defeat in the ring or encountering obstacles in my personal development, resilience allowed me to keep moving forward. My advice for those early in their journey is to cultivate resilience by reframing setbacks as opportunities for growth, maintaining a positive mindset, and seeking support from mentors or peers during tough times.
Self-awareness: Understanding my strengths, weaknesses, and values has been instrumental in making informed decisions and staying true to myself. Developing self-awareness involves introspection, feedback from others, and a willingness to confront uncomfortable truths. Early in your journey, take time to reflect on your strengths, areas for improvement, and what truly matters to you. Use this self-awareness to guide your actions and choices moving forward.
Continuous learning: Embracing a growth mindset and committing to lifelong learning has been key to staying adaptable and evolving in a fast-paced world. Whether it’s honing my boxing skills, expanding my knowledge as a life coach, or staying up-to-date with trends in social media, prioritizing learning has opened doors and kept me ahead of the curve. My advice is to never stop seeking new knowledge and skills, whether through formal education, mentorship, or self-directed learning. Be open to new experiences and perspectives, and embrace challenges as opportunities to learn and grow.
In summary, resilience, self-awareness, and continuous learning have been foundational to my journey. For those starting out, focus on cultivating these qualities and skills, and remember that growth is a journey, not a destination. Stay resilient in the face of adversity, strive for self-awareness in all aspects of your life, and embrace learning as a lifelong pursuit. With dedication and perseverance, you can navigate the challenges of your journey and achieve your goals.
Any advice for folks feeling overwhelmed?
When I feel overwhelmed, I’ve found several strategies helpful in regaining a sense of balance and perspective:
Take a break: Sometimes, stepping away from whatever is causing the overwhelm can provide much-needed relief. Whether it’s taking a short walk, practicing deep breathing exercises, or simply pausing to rest, giving myself permission to take a break allows me to recharge and come back with a clearer mindset.
Prioritize tasks: Feeling overwhelmed often stems from having too much on my plate. By prioritizing tasks and breaking them down into smaller, manageable steps, I can focus on what’s most important and tackle things one at a time. Creating a to-do list or using time management techniques like the Eisenhower Matrix can help in identifying priorities and organizing my workload.
Reach out for support: It’s important to remember that I don’t have to navigate overwhelm alone. Whether it’s seeking guidance from a mentor, talking to a trusted friend or family member, or reaching out to a professional counselor or coach, sharing my feelings with others can provide perspective, validation, and support.
Practice self-care: Taking care of my physical and emotional well-being is crucial, especially during times of overwhelm. Engaging in activities that bring me joy and relaxation, such as exercise, meditation, hobbies, or spending time with loved ones, helps me recharge and maintain a healthy balance.
Adjust expectations: Sometimes, overwhelm stems from unrealistic expectations I place on myself or others. By reevaluating my expectations and being more flexible and compassionate with myself, I can alleviate some of the pressure and reduce feelings of overwhelm.
Overall, finding strategies that work for me in managing overwhelm involves a combination of self-awareness, self-care, and reaching out for support when needed. By prioritizing my well-being and taking proactive steps to address overwhelm, I can navigate challenges more effectively and maintain a sense of balance in my life.
