You can't improve what doesn't exist.

The ideas in your head. The business you dream of building. The plans you keep putting off. All are worthless until you test them against reality.

Grab a notebook.

Write out exactly what you want in your future, don't miss a detail. Then, break it down into goals. Decades, years, months, weeks, and days.

Every day, write down the 3 levers you can pull to make actual progress.

If you don't have a goal so meaningful it makes other people's opinions irrelevant, you will lose control of your life. You will adopt the goals assigned to you by your parents, peers, or society.
