The Fourth D- DISTRACTION

THE LOST CHAPTER

by KLARK BROWN

About The Book

📘 The Lost Chapter
A Fable About the Fourth D — and How to Take Back Your Company

From our 8% Restopreneur™️ Series.

You’ve heard of Delay.
You’ve battled Deny.
You’ve been bruised by Defend.
But no one warned you about the Fourth D.

Distraction.

It doesn’t come with threats or red tape.
It comes dressed like progress.
Endless meetings. Empty software. Busywork disguised as strategy.
Meanwhile, your company drifts… and your soul goes with it.

The Lost Chapter exposes the quiet tactic that’s killing good restoration companies from the inside out. Told through a powerful modern fable rooted in the real stories of contractors like you, this book reveals how teams get lost chasing noise—and what it takes to reclaim clarity, margin, and mission.

If you've ever felt like you’re working harder and gaining less…
If your calendar is full but your progress is stalled…
If you're building a business, but losing your life…

This chapter was written for you.

It’s the chapter no one ever told you existed.
And once you read it, you’ll never unsee it.
