Since then, I’ve improved the ergonomics of my home office. Actually, I’ve found a way to work comfortably using the leather couch and my laptop. If I need to, I can move in the basement, where there’s a desk and a reasonably effective chair. My back rarely hurts anymore.

However, I do still have migraines sometimes.

I find your experience a common problem with home offices. The ergonomics is often poor. It is challenging to find great office chairs, ones that have adjustable arm rests, height, back rest, etc..

Hi, Rich. Thanks for the kind words. I’ve been working up to this for a long time. Now, I’m wrestling with how to keep the cash flowing while finding enough time for my own business-building projects. But that’s another blog post…

Rapid, I checked out eioba.com. It seems like it could be an interesting marketing opportunity. I’ll have to think about it.

Hi Tim,

Congratulations on going out on your own, it’s takes a lot of guts but it sounds like you are handling it very well. This past March I quit my family’s business after 16 years of working for my father and started my own company. (Started when I was 14 and I am 30 now)

Looking back 8 months or so, I can’t believe I actually did it. I too have a family and a mortgage but in hindsight, it wasn’t scary at the time and I am so happy I did it. I completely agree with the naps things too, I got a bit lazy at first but now I am kicking butt and focused on supporting my family and saving for their education.

Anyway, congratulations again and good luck to you.

Cordially,

Rich Cecere
