First, know why you want to convert. Understand that Hashem loves you the way you are and will reward you for living a moral life no matter who you are.
If you still decide to convert, do a good job. It’s a never ending commitment. And don’t expect your life to become easier, financially nor socially. It can be expensive and restricting. You may lose friends and family who may disagree or are wierded out.
The major steps, IMO, are:
Learn Halacha well and start following. That may require major life changes.
Learn classical Hebrew
Keep up your learning, preferably in the original sources
Make sure you have a good Rabbi to guide you, one that works well with you and whose views are well respected among other Rabbis.
