Pay attention to form
Lift heavy, but build up to it. SL 5x5 is very good for this
Eat properly. High protein, low fat, low carbs
Ask for help if you need it
Don't lift too heavy too fast, or you'll injure yourself

I would look at stronglifts 5x5 you can install it as an app on your phone and watch videos on the big 5 lifts. It also tracks your progress. It's free too.

Good form is more important than heavy weight. Don't compare your lifts to the guy next to you.

Nutrition is over half the game you're about to play, don't screw around with it.

Go in with a goal, not all things can be achieved at once (can't get huge and ripped at the same time).

You don't need motivation to hit the gym day in and out, you need discipline.

I'd recommend making a google sheet to keep track of your progress, you can edit it right there at the gym (there's a few good ones floating around on /r/fitness if you want a template or just to follow someone's routine).

You'll see gains fast at first and then slower after your 'beginner gains' end, don't stop, your gains are still coming.
