Wiper,
I'd start with an assessment of what you already have. Are there fish in the pond right now? If so, what are they? If not, why not?
Also, what type of habitat do you have? What types and quantity of aquatic vegetation? Depth?
In the end, it will be a way better fishery, if you invest the time up front to understand it. And remember, there's no need to hurry. This will be a slow process.
Since it's getting pretty cold right now, I might start by getting a copy of Nebraska Pond Management (Alex posted the link above), and reading it cover to cover. Read that book, and you'll learn more than you thought possible.
