Salesforce Administrator / Sole Proprietor

Goggin Services Llc
Set up my own LLC doing side work (Gig work) with the intention of generating additional Income for some of my hobbies (Home remodel, Automotive restorations, backyard renovation, daughters saving account, etc) as well as my retirement fund. Side jobs consisted of Landscaping, Painting, Furniture assembly, freight, and food delivery (Door Dash, Rodie, TaskRabbit, Uber Eats). I didn’t want to use other tracking apps and being a Salesforce Admin, it was a logical choice for me to use Salesforce as I could configure my tool to suit my needs with immediate turn around.Using Salesforce, I configured a custom app so that I could track my work. The custom App allows me to track my Gross and Net Income to Goal, which vehicles I use for what jobs, the expenses incurred per job, fuel costs, Office expenses and vehicle maintenance logs (I do my own car repair so logging this activity allows me to remember when my last oil change or repair work was completed). Recording the activity in Salesforce allows me to quickly compile data to determine my income progress and allowed me to complete my State and Federal Income taxes much faster. I use my App both with my laptop and using the Salesforce mobile App on my phone. Once my job is completed, I log it in my app and I'm on my way. Two of the side effects I've gained are that 1. I have a better understanding of how users interact with and report out of Salesforce, and 2. it helps keep me aware of new functionality or limits on the platform. This understanding has also translated into how I improve my approach to being an admin in my fulltime role: I'm not just an administrator I'm also an end user.Configuration consisted of Custom App, standard and custom objects, standard and custom fields, validation rules, Page layouts, Record types, Flow and Reporting and Dashboards.
