Just like fictional lovebirds, we can see how millennials and franchising have made a match that seems to be made from heaven. People aged 30 and below can be seen already owning or managing their own businesses. Thanks to franchising, they need not labor hard until their 50’s just to start on a venture that they have been longing for. Because of franchising, even the inexperienced and the young now have the chance to be their own boss should they wish to.

But for sure there is no magic formula as to why millennials are generally successful in franchising. The items below will tell us why things simply fall into place for them.

• Millennials are risk-takers.
  Being born in the decade of Mission Impossible, Transformers, and Harry Potter, millennials are not new to dreaming of the impossible. This is why they easily attempt the impossible. Franchising is a great door of opportunity opened for them to take calculated risks. They are the generation who will not back down on something new or unfamiliar. With technology on their side, they can easily learn and adapt to anything that they set their mind into.
• Millennials find joy in being in control.
  Millenials are born at a time when strict and military discipline is no longer prevalent. Because of that, they are used to doing whatever they like. For those who can afford, they would prefer to franchise their own business rather than be under the control of some board of trustees, or management even if it is their own family. Owning a franchise business gives them the sheer joy of being the boss and having full control.
• Millennials want to get rich, fast.
  These people live in the fast lane. Why finish college when you can earn while you are young? Why wait to be wealthy to start a big business when you have enough to start a small one today? These are their normal sentiments. They want to earn early, they want to succeed the soonest time, and they want to get rich now. Franchising offers them this opportunity that is why they are easily attracted to its promises and possibilities.
• Millennials can take advantage of the systems and technologies of those who are ahead of them.
  Because they are born rather late. Those ahead of them already have preset ideas, technologies, and systems that are proven to work in life or in business. Luckily for these millennials, all they need to do is to put these things in good use for them to prosper on their own. With franchising, they need not start from scratch. They can just adapt what has been working and reap the same benefits.
• Millennials have the resources to do “trial and error”.
  Because they are young and mostly single, they have the time and the resources to try things out. Should they fail, they can always try something else without too much to lose. They still have a lot of time to correct their mistakes and they don’t have a family to think of protecting. Now if they succeed, they have everything to gain since they are still young and can maximize the time and resources they have up to its fullest possibilities.

Being young no longer means being weak. Experience is no longer an edge. With how fast the world is turning, experience has become relative. When it comes to franchising, it takes brave, not tenured, individuals to succeed. And that word, brave, perfectly sums up the millennials.

Still, it is best for them to consult those who have been there and know better.
