A bit about me: I built 2 multimillion-dollar businesses without investment, selling my first for $60M after starting it in high school. Now, I'm building a multi-million dollar gaming startup—and writing on X about how to do more with less.

The biggest lesson? Sometimes, breaking all the rules is the smartest strategy. Ryanair proved that being hated for the right reasons can be more profitable than being loved for the wrong ones. And even when you're working with less, you can beat the giants.

5. They used economic downturns to grow stronger: When others cut back, they expanded. When others raised prices, they lowered them. When others played safe, they took risks. The strategy was counterintuitive but brilliant...

4. They mastered the art of ancillary revenue: • Baggage fees • Priority boarding • Seat selection • Food & drinks By 2020, these "extras" generated €2.9 billion. That's 35% of total revenue. But here's the most fascinating part:

3. They turned their "bad" reputation into an advantage. Every controversy = Free publicity Every complaint = Proof they're truly low-cost Every criticism = Marketing opportunity O'Leary's response? "All publicity is good publicity."

2. They standardized their entire fleet to Boeing 737s. This meant: • One type of maintenance • One type of training • Massive bulk discounts The savings were astronomical. But there's an even bigger secret to their success:

By breaking every "rule" in aviation: 1. While others chose prime airports, Ryanair picked secondary ones. This meant: • Less congestion • Lower landing fees • Faster turnarounds But the genius was in the details...

The results speak for themselves: From 82,000 passengers in their first year to 168.6 million in 2023. That's a massive increase. How did they achieve this insane growth?

He proposed: • Charging for bathroom use • Standing-room-only tickets • Pay toilets on flights Most were publicity stunts—but they worked brilliantly. Each outrageous statement generated millions in free advertising...

O'Leary's philosophy was simple but controversial: "The customer is nearly always wrong." He focused on one thing: Making flying so cheap that people couldn't resist. His methods were even more controversial:

Ryanair's transformation was brutal: • Eliminated free drinks & meals • Charged for every "extra" service • Used secondary airports • Operated a single aircraft type Average fares dropped from £99 to £59. But this was just the beginning...

Michael O'Leary joined as CFO in 1988. He flew to Dallas to study Southwest Airlines' model. When he returned, he had a revolutionary idea that would reshape European aviation forever: Strip away EVERYTHING that wasn't essential. The results were shocking...

By 1990, Ryanair was bleeding money. £20 million in losses. Intense competition crushing margins. On the verge of bankruptcy. Then came the man who would change everything:

Picture this: One 15-seat Embraer Bandeirante turboprop. 82,000 passengers in their first year. A mission to break the Aer Lingus/British Airways duopoly. No one thought they stood a chance. But here's where it gets interesting...

In 1984, a tiny Irish airline declared WAR on Europe's giants. But they did it by breaking all the rules. 40 years later they're called "The World's Most Hated Airline." Here's how Ryanair became Europe's largest (and most profitable) airline:
