Keep your forming calluses as dry as possible during the toughening stages. Learn chords first, riffs next, and leading third. Concentrate on correct chord formations and their quick changes to the next chord belonging to the song you wish to play.
Play each string individually in your chord so that it is clear without unintentional muting or buzzing.
Learn all the chords that you can, including the 'moveable' or Chromatic chords.
Develop a strong practice routine and stick with it.
Treat your guitar better than you do your own body.
When you feel like playing, play with feeling.

Keep at it and play through the initial pain in your fingers...the callouses will build and the pain will go away.
Most of all, have fun! If you do it because you enjoy it, you will practice more and go farther than if you do it because you tell yourself you have to.
