Danielle Steel: 20-hour work days, $420M net worth, 75 years old

Danielle Steel is one of the most prolific authors in the world. 

In this episode, I share my personal journey to understanding the motivations and habits of this eccentric superhuman who has published 170 books in her lifetime. She has actually made a ton of money from it too. Forbes estimates her net worth at a whopping $420M. Now in her 70’s, Danielle Steel is more prolific than ever — in fact much more than in her earlier career.

In this episode I share what I have learned about Danielle Steel’s life, motivations, and daily routines that have led her to this point. There are some counter-intuitive lessons in here, things that break the generally accepted rules of productivity. 

We also discuss how Danielle Steel's success was shaped by societal shifts occurring in the 1970s when she first started out as a novelist. 

Danielle is in a league of her own. And you’re about to learn why.
