Ways to Improve

Selective aggression is the key to playing poker. You have fearless aggression (which is hard to teach) but not the selectiveness (which is easy to teach). So your game can develop quickly if they learn to be more analytical.

Learning about odds and starting hand selection, and hand selection in general is paramount for the Bossy player. If you are going to be highly aggressive you need to be playing really tight/weak players or have hands that have some merit. Tilted Donkey has many resources focussing upon hand selection. The tutorials are a great place to start.

A full ten player table of holdem can be boring. You may find this difficult to deal with even if you know what hands they should be folding--you want some action! So discipline is required.

One potential solution is to play at shorthanded tables. A Holdem table with less than 7 players is more suitable for a loose-aggressive playing style.
