Jane Matthews started Ready Set Show as a way to use her skills as a former Change Manager for a large corporation. It was her job, traveling around the US to help clients set up systems and projects to integrate into the new way way of doing things. She was responsible for teaching and training the staff to use and profit from the new systems and to make them feel comfortable with change. It was her goal to make the changes fun and exciting, not always an easy task!.
Before she launched her new Business READY SET SHOW, Jane took three months off and moved to Ireland. One of the many projects she took part in while there was a London to Mongolia Car Race. The Mongorally.com ( to see pictures of Jane and the car) This race is for Charity and covers 6,000 miles in a one liter car (about the engine size of your average lawnmower) Jane was the Team Marshall and did much of the background stuff to get her team and the car ready for the 6,000 mile road rally. The car, a 1996 Russian mad Lada, was purchased site unseen on e bay from a man in Wales, and was driven by Jane through the crowded streets of Hyde Park , London trying to teach the team how to drive a no power steering or no power breaks pices of junk that was destinned to break down for the forth and final time in Ubekestan.
The fun and excitment of the Rally helped to show the real value of team work. How strangers can work together towards a common goal, often overcoming impossible odds. How border crosssing need bribes in Russia and how a broken car can be traded for tickets home.
Working with clients Jane has see how a room or a home can be transformed when strangers who can become team mates work towards a common goal. And have fun doing it.

Welcome to Ready-Set-Show, central New Jersey’s premier professional organizer and home staging company.
You have just made the first important step in getting your space organized and uncluttered. Congratulations, let’s get started!
We are committed to helping you get your home or office organized and uncluttered. As professional organizers, Ready-Set-Show will help reduce stress, simplify life and create a comfortable and easy space to live and work in.
We don’t believe that getting organized is about perfection. Working with a professional organizer means we will find workable solutions to make efficient & productive use of your space, no matter how large or small your space may be.
We listen to you. What’s working in the space now? What’s not working? Where do you want the room to be? How would you like to see it transformed? Do you want the unused bedroom to be your craft space? Or do you need us to set up an easy to use office in the basement? Do you need to clear out the trash and junk in the garage so you can finally park the car in there?
We can help you.
Our process begins with a phone call or e-mail. We ask a lot of questions. Does the entire house need an overhaul? Do you have a cluttered home office, or craft room? Are the closets so packed with clothes you use every available surface as an extension of the closet(s). Has the extra bedroom become a dumping ground for unwanted items? Maybe it’s the basement or garage that has become so full of stuff you’re not sure what you have. Ready-Set-Show can transform the whole house or just a room into a working, restful and useful place.
Not sure what to keep, toss or donate? At Ready-Set-Show we are professionals, we will help you let go of what you don’t need, keep & organize your treasures and donate to charity what can be passed on. We know the letting go process is never easy. We work at your pace, sorting carefully so that nothing important will be thrown out or lost. We make sure that all items identified as toss or donate are held back from trash for a day or two in case you change your mind.
We are hands-on organizers! We do the sorting, lifting and trash removal. We clean the space as we go, dusting, vacuuming, moping and we even do windows! We will absolutely transform your space!
So are you ready to get started? It’s easy, give us a call or send an e-mail and we will arrange a date and time that suits your schedule. It’s that easy!
