Anton Dabbs: My Journey

Welcome! I’m Anton Dabbs from Duluth, Minnesota, and I’d like to share my personal journey with you. I hope my story can offer hope and inspiration to many of you.

Growing up, life was far from easy. Raised by a single mother on welfare, we had very little money. My grandparents played a significant role in helping to raise me, but the challenges were immense. School was a constant struggle, and I often found myself in trouble both at school and with the law.

From a young age, I dealt with severe anxiety, although I didn’t understand what it was at the time. It was a constant, invisible battle. To make things even more complex, I was on the autism spectrum, a fact that I only discovered when I was 53 years old. This late diagnosis shed light on so many of the difficulties I faced growing up.

Despite these challenges, I found the strength to push forward. In my early 30s, I started a business called Lemon Squad, an auto inspection service. It wasn’t easy; my anxiety was a constant companion. But I persevered, and Lemon Squad grew into a large national company, eventually making me a millionaire. Four years ago, I sold the business, and now my mission is to help others who are struggling with mental illness.

One of the biggest hurdles I had to overcome was my fear of taking medication. For years, I resisted, but eventually, I started taking meds for my anxiety, and it has made a world of difference. Now, I feel better and more capable of facing life’s challenges.

My book is a raw and honest account of my journey. It delves into the struggles, the triumphs, and everything in between. It’s a story of resilience, determination, and the power of never giving up, even when the odds are stacked against you.

I believe my story can provide hope and inspiration to anyone facing similar struggles. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, navigating life with autism, or simply trying to find your path, this book is for you.

If you’re looking for a story that is real, relatable, and ultimately uplifting, I encourage you to check out my book. Together, we can break the stigma surrounding mental illness and show that with determination and support, anything is possible.

Thank you for visiting, and thank you for your support.
