“There is no substitute for hard work and all that other motherhood”

Simplified Meaning:

Success and achieving goals often require putting in a lot of effort and doing the tough, necessary work. You can't replace this hard work with anything else if you really want to get results. Imagine someone wanting to be a great piano player. They must practice hours every day, focusing on improving skills, even when they feel like doing something else. Watching videos or reading books won't make them great unless they also put in the hard work of practice. This idea can be applied to many areas of life: whether it's getting good grades, becoming good at a sport, or starting a business. The key message is that while shortcuts and tips may help, nothing can truly replace putting in the effort and doing the work yourself.
