~50 min from our office — serving family business owners across the DFW metroplex.
Prosper is one of the wealthiest and fastest-growing towns in Texas. Gates of Prosper, Windsong Ranch, Star Trail — these communities are filled with business owners who built something significant and chose Prosper because it reflects their success.
Many Prosper residents relocated from elsewhere in DFW, bringing their businesses with them. They’re ambitious, young (relative to typical exit planning clients), and building rapidly. The last thing on their mind is selling — and that’s exactly why now is the time to start planning.
Decidedly Wealth Management is a CEPA-certified firm based in Fort Worth. We serve business owners across the DFW metroplex who want to be intentional about their future — not just their present.

For Prosper business owners building now. The decisions you make today determine what your business will be worth in 10-20 years.
Know what your business is worth — not someday, but today. We help you understand your value and identify ways to increase it.
Aligning your investments, your business equity, and your family goals into one coherent plan — that’s what we do.
Prosper isn’t just growing — it’s one of the wealthiest small towns in Texas. Gates of Prosper, Windsong Ranch, Star Trail — these aren’t starter-home developments. They’re filled with business owners, executives, and entrepreneurs who chose Prosper because they’ve already made it and want a community that reflects that.
What makes Prosper business owners different from most exit planning clients is age. Many are in their 30s and 40s — younger than the typical business owner thinking about transitions. They relocated from other parts of DFW (or other states entirely), brought their businesses with them, and are focused on scaling, not exiting.
But here’s what they don’t realize: the decisions you make at 40 determine what your business is worth at 55. Building transferable value, creating documentation, developing a leadership team that doesn’t depend on you — these aren’t things you do when you’re ready to sell. They’re things you do now so that when the time comes, you have options instead of obligations.
We work with several Prosper families who are in exactly this phase — high-growth, high-ambition, and smart enough to know that building value and capturing value are two different skills.
Sanger works with business owners throughout North Texas, including the Prosper, Celina, and Frisco corridor. Meetings can happen at your location or virtually.
Sanger is the founder of Decidedly Wealth Management, a published author of two books on wealth and significance, and co-host of The Decidedly Podcast with over 750 episodes. He holds the CEPA™ (Certified Exit Planning Advisor), APMA®, and BFA™ designations.
The best exit plans start decades early. In your 40s, you have time to build enormous transferable value. Business owners who plan early sell for significantly more than those who wait.
Look for specialization. Most wealth managers are generalists. We focus specifically on business owners — the exit, the transition, and the wealth that follows. That focus makes a difference.
It’s a free initial conversation where we walk through five key decisions: who you are, where you are, where you’re going, how you’ll get there, and who matters. No spreadsheets on the first call.
Your first conversation is free. No pressure, no pitch — just a chance to talk about your business, your family, and what matters most to you.
