What does it really mean to be efficient?
In this fifth installment of the Money Miniseries, Dr. Randy Lehman takes us deep into the philosophy and practical tactics of operating with maximum efficiency–whether you’re in the OR, clinic, or managing investments.
From streamlining surgical workflows to understanding your personal dollar-per-hour, this episode covers it all. Dr. Lehman shares his real-world methods for doing laparoscopic cholecystectomy in 18 minutes, maximizing passive income from real estate, and building a practice that works for you (not the other way around).
He also issues a challenge: what are you doing that doesn’t even need to be done?
This episode is for rural surgeons, high-performers, and anyone who wants to reclaim their time, energy, and money by focusing on what really matters.
