Our Story

To launch and grow a successful business find a roadmap that has worked for other people and then personalize it for yourself.
— Lloyd Cambridge, Founder of Progress Playbook

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO

As a kid growing up in Brownsville, Brooklyn, the founder of Progress Playbook, Lloyd Cambridge, always wanted to start a business but lacked the confidence, resources and support to make it happen. Despite these roadblocks, he never stopped dreaming. After graduating college at NYU, he spent his career supporting entrepreneurs and business owners as a business banker, teacher and public servant, but he knew that he could do more, so he finally put his fears aside, quit his job and ventured out, and started Progress Playbook, a business training and service platform for entrepreneurs. Reflecting back on that young boy growing up in Brownsville, Brooklyn who wanted to start a business to live out his dream, build his community, and make his family and friends proud, Lloyd and the Progress Playbook team are committed to creating customized learning and business service experiences that support dreamers, believers and doers everywhere to design the businesses, lives and world that they love.

OUR MISSION

To equip entrepreneurs to design the business, life and world that they love. 

We envision a world where anyone from anywhere who wants to build any business has step-by-step support along their journey.

WHAT WE DO

We design customized learning experiences that help entrepreneurs start and grow businesses locally and beyond.

Current business education and services often provides a one size fits all approach. Entrepreneurs and business owners receive the same general information and methods of learning.

With this generic approach, entrepreneurs and business owners often make unnecessary mistakes that lead to failure or delayed success.

No more cookie cutter business instruction.
The best approach is a customized approach.

  1. Empathy

  2. Authenticity

  3. Simplicity

  4. Innovation

  5. Relevancy

  6. Process and Results-Driven

  7. Holistic

  8. Celebration

  9. Faith
