Step 1. Get a planisphere (star wheel), the Sky and Telescope Pocket Star Atlas, and a set of 7x50 binoculars (and a deck chair!).
Step 2. Sit outside at night for a couple of hours and work from the brightest stars and planets. Learn their names, and what's around them, and head out from there.
Step 3. If you're still at it after a couple of months, you can obviously take the cold, and should start thinking about a telescope.
Best of luck!
