Humans think of “happiness” as a niche, unattainable emotion. The truth is, you don’t have to look any further than self-employment. According to a new survey, it may be the key to a happier life!

Sure, traditional employment has its perks—a steady paycheck, usually good benefits, and a set number of hours you have to work. But what if you could create a career that works with your skills, interests and lifestyle?

That’s the beauty of self-employment. You can determine your own schedule, find work in an industry you’re passionate about and become the master of your own destiny.

So, if you’re looking for a little extra joy in life, why not give self-employment a try? You could be the next big entrepreneur, take control of your career, and make every day a happy one.
