With the office chair/sofa question I think it is a quite complex question; the seating posture has subliminal connotations with work or play; the hard/soft (Company plug here??) seating helps or hinders staying awake, and ofcourse no distractions like wife/TV/Radio should be allowed. Atmosphere is also important; not too hot with fresh air (not usual in a home environment) keeps the mind alert. However, if you are the sort of person who will become a Mogul nothing will distract you from your objectives. It is said that people can be divided into three types.. 1-those who do not learn from their mistakes 2-those who DO learn from their mistakes 3-those who learn from the mistakes of others. So, before you start on your own, read a few biographies of sucessful people and see how they started..
