SC Johnson background

https://www.adbrands.net/us/scjohnson_us.htm 

SC Johnson & Son is one of the world's leading manufacturers of chemical-based household care products, including cleaners Pledge, Mr Muscle, Drano, Windex, Toilet Duck and Shout; air fresheners Glade and Oust; pest control products Raid, Autan, Off, Baygon and Vapona; food storage products Ziploc and Saran; and Kiwi shoe care. The company's original brand, Johnson Wax floor polish is now only available on mail order in the US. 

 

The group has steadily expanded its portfolio through selective acquisitions, including Sara Lee's shoecare and insecticide brands, a portfolio of homecare products in Central Europe from Unilever and, perhaps most notably, the environmentally friendly cleaning brands Ecover and Method. The group is deservedly proud of its family heritage. Sam Johnson inherited his grandfather's company in the 1950s and built it into a multi-billion-dollar business. Still entirely private and now run by the fifth generation of family members, it began describing itself as "A Family Company" in 1998, and that slogan was added to all advertising from 2001. It also has a strong community and environmental policy. 

It was one of the first US companies to prohibit the use of CFCs in its products (in 1975, several years before the government ban), is a vocal supporter of environmental initiatives such as plastic recycling and conservation, is extremely active within the local community in Wisconsin where its HQ remains. Fisk Johnson is CEO. The company doesn't publish its financial results, but sales for the year to June 2020 were around $10.5bn. Separately, the Johnson family also own a financial services business in their home state of Wisconsin as well as Johnson Outdoors: a collection of camping, sailing, scuba diving and fishing brands including Scuba Pro, Minn Kota and Selva.

His ideas were first shared on Twitter and expanded in podcasts and interviews. 💡 Core Principles: 1. Seek Wealth, Not Money or Status Wealth = assets that earn while you sleep (businesses, products, media). Money = a tool for transferring wealth. Status = a zero-sum game (if someone wins, another loses). 🔑 2. Play Long-Term Games with Long-Term People Build relationships with people known for integrity. Reputation compounds like capital. 🛠 3. Learn to Build and Sell “If you can build it, you can create wealth. If you can sell it, you can monetize it.” Learn specific knowledge (unique skills that feel like play to you, but are valuable to others). Combine with accountability , leverage , and judgment . 🧠 4. Arm Yourself with Specific Knowledge Not taught in school, often discovered through curiosity and per...
