be motivated to study and work on all aspects of your game.   Explore all avenues of chess, ie; openings, middlegames, endings, tactics, strategy.     Study games of the masters with master analysis.   do you understand what you are reading ?  no ?  then go over the games again, until it makes sense.    Experience / improvement takes much effort.
