years. The opportunity for Paull to become his own boss found him in 2007, when Dr. Crandall called to say that he was retiring, and asked if Paull would be interested in returning to Janesville to take over the practice. Starting with two employees, Paull slowly adjusted to running his own office. “The hardest part was managing employees, having never had to do that before,” he said. “That was a hard skill to learn. It wasn’t something that came naturally to me.” Complicating matters was that chiropractic school focused mainly on clinical training rather than business training. “Those first handful of years were tough,” Paull said. “We had been growing, but it was slow. And not in the direction that I thought we would. We were struggling a little bit. I was a little stubborn, thinking I could do this on my own.” With his background in pediatrics, Paull wanted to grow the pediatric chiropractic side of the business, but he wasn’t sure exactly how to go about it. “I finally gave in and looked for people within the chiropractic profession who had done what I wanted to do, and looked to them for mentorship,” says Paull. In 2018, Paull started working with a business coach who specialized in chiropractic. The results were immediate. “Within six to eight months of working with them and learning more about managing the business side of things, we almost doubled in size,” Paull said. “And it took off from there.” Besides pediatric chiropractic, Paull Chiropractic now offers pregnancy care, sports chiropractic, doula services and yoga. The practice grew to the point of needing additional space, so Paull moved the office to a former bank building on West Racine Street in 2022. “Probably the biggest thing that has helped us grow has been seeking chiropractic mentorship,” says Paull. “That’s something I would recommend, to find someone within your field to work with as a mentor. I still work with my business coach/mentor.” Paull also feels that getting involved in community service has helped his business succeed. His personal involvement includes Downtown Janesville Inc. and Forward Janesville, and his wife Liz serves on boards with the School District of Janesville and the Children’s Museum of Rock County. “Local networking has helped a ton,” Paull said. “(It’s made) us more of a trusted chiropractic group in the area, because we are out there a lot.” From Paull’s personal experience, he advises budding small business owners to “find somebody who has done what you want to do and take their advice. “It’s a shortcut to growth.” 10 | FORWARD JANESVILLE LOCATED AT THE MDR HOUSE Real Estate & Lifestyle by Design mdrhouse.net Celebrating IN BUSINESS 1975 - 2025 50years We’ve been proudly providing Residential and Commercial Plumbing & HVAC services to the Janesville Area for over 50 years!
