Drake works hard at building up your mental energy, so that you can succeed, because without that you're dead in the water...The lesson - that it is possible to survive and prosper - can be an inspirational one. -- The Daily Telegraph
This is a useful guide on how to emulate Drake's freelance comeback as an IBG (Independent Business Generator)... Plan yourself as a good business should plan, and you stand to gain the same benefits. -- Management Today
We are living in a world in which the only security lies in embracing insecurity. Tim Drake's book makes this paradox painfully clear and offers a useful agenda for all of us, however falsely secure we feel. -- Mark Goyder, Director, The Centre for Tomorrow's Company
Towards the end of 1990, Tim Drake's bankers valued his share of Cobra Sports, the sports retail chain he co-founded 14 years earlier, at #5 million. Two years later, disaster struck, and Drake and his partner had to sell the business for the equivalent of 5 pence. Cobra Sports was to have been Tim Drake's life work - and pension - but was cruelly taken from him at the age of 48. Finding himself without a company or an income, and with a young family to house and support, Drake had some serious thinking to do.

It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.
