I think step one should be finding out who you are. Come to know that you are a son of God, a joint-heir with Christ, saved by his Grace and Atonement. Come to believe it, come to live it, and come to understand the potential in you.
Then pray about the scriptures and their truthfulness.
It doesn't matter if the Book of Mormon, or the Bible or any of the standard works are true if you don't give them a reason to matter to you.
Believe me, the scriptures ment nothing to me until I decided one day to just pray to understand the atonement, to understand where I came from. It was an amazingly powerful, yet private experience, but when I found out who I was, and why I was here, only then did God's words to man matter to me. I started reading them saying "Okay, if this is true then it means that my Father is speaking to me, these are road directions, telling me how to get home".
