A very interesting idea of moving abroad to take advantage of cheaper labor. But, he suggests taking 9 months of prep time (6 to move there and try it out, 1 to vacation there and think about it, 2 to do research) before even starting the company in another country.

In that amount of time, you could take a product to market, iterate a few times, and gain considerable traction. I wouldn't trade that for cheap labor. As an entrepreneur my most precious asset is time; I can't give up a week much less 9 months without advancing the company.
