It depends on the problem. Without any concreteness in your question, the answer is: do what must be done, and do it correctly.

Aren't there any general steps? Like "draw a diagram" or "state what is being asked" etc.?

Think of the problem and see if it's an obvious consequence of something you know. If it's not, then play with it (draw pictures, compute stuff, manipulate the equation/inequality, see if the contrapositive of the problem is easier to prove, etc.)
