What was a situation where you set a major goal and were able to achieve it?

This question constitutes a part of the McKinsey personal fit Entrepreneurial Drive dimension.

While telling the story it’s important to highlight a few things:

• The goal you are talking about needs to be impressive (like founding your business, an NGO, competing in major sporting event or a science competition)
• The goal needs to be intrinsic to you, i.e. nobody is expecting from you to do that, but you are still doing it
• There are need to be some significant challenges on your way and you need to give a detailed description on how you overcame them
