What does it mean to 'act upon' after memorizing all of the Quran?

When someone memorizes the whole Quran they will go to heaven. But I read somewhere that only those who memorize the whole Quran and act upon it will go to heaven. What does act upon it mean? For example does it mean that I should do what the Quran tells me to do (don't gamble or drink alcohol...etc). And does it mean that if I memorize the whole Quran I should share it to the world, for example lead people in prayer? But what if i'm a woman? What can a woman who memorized the Quran do to act upon it?
