This is all good advice, but a couple notes:
1) Don't lie to your co-workers or boss. You shouldn't talk about your business all the time, but don't be afraid to let them know what you're doing. This is really a context dependant situation, but personally, when I was starting my company while I was still working a 9-5, I didn't hide that fact which made it much easier to leave the company amicably when the time came to do so.
2) Make sure you have a lawyer you can run things by, but you don't necessarily need the accountant right off the bat. It depends on how quickly you'll be generating revenue and how, but you can do without an accountant for a while.
The contractors point is a very good one, and I can't stress it enough. If you can get away with bringing everyone on board as contractors, you can save yourself a ton of hassle and costs in HR, taxes, etc.
