get 1 build for each match up and only do that until you know the build super dooper well.
focus on always doing something, constant effective actions
macro! Make SCV's make depots
Drop mules and know your timings. It just takes learning the game to a decent level and macro to get out of Bronze and up all the way to plat. Diamond takes a bit more smarts and Masters needs refined builds.. Then just get good at everything and you're GM.
What I'm doing right now is the Marine-Marauder-Medivac build and have them accompanied with Siege Tanks and then I just modify that build depending on the situation/race.
Sometimes if I feel like cheesing I just get 2 Medi's, each loaded with 8 Marines, and drop them over the mineral line. (Most likely I upgrade ONLY if time permits. Sometimes I do the drop with the Marines having only EITHER dmg or armr at lvl 1. It's that along with either the Shield or Stim).
If I do those two builds right and micro well enough it's actually enough to get me some wins, but sometimes it's just sheer luck.

Something which can also help is if you can find a mentor: even someone in gold/plat can help someone in bronze with the basics. Sometimes all it takes - practice aside - is to see a build in action from someone whose skill level isn't too distant from your own for you to be able to get a better idea of what is involved in using the strategy.
Spectating custom games, going over replays, Archon mode where the coach can help out when needed, 2vAI where both players are practising the same build for comparison purposes - SC2 has a lot of ways to get value out of even casual coaching
