Your excuse for not starting out that brilliant idea shouldn't be that you haven't gotten an office space, you can't afford an office space or all those other limitations. It is the age of improvisation; molding what you have into what you need, until better comes along or in some cases, could turn out to be more effective than the perceived better.
