Ecco qualche esempio che mette l'espressione in contesto.

"I don't think XXX deserves city status. It has a lot going for it, but doesn't have what it takes."
http://www.bbc.co.uk/southyorkshire/sense_of_place/doncaster...

...Despite recognising her "aggressive nature" he explained: "I think you bring a lot to this house, I think you have a lot going for you. When you're up (happy), you're fun."
http://bigbrother.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds9725.html

..."Granted, YYY himself wasn't a phenomenal rapper, but he had a lot going for him. For one, he was witty, coming up with off-the-wall lyrics that were smart and funny at the same time, even if they didn't employ elaborate rhyming schemes."
http://www.justreservations.com/kayne-west.asp

"When I moved to XXX I was struck by how much it has going for it, put in place and maintained by the council.
The libraries ­ both static and on wheels, the open spaces, the parks, facilities for children, dial a ride for the elderly, lots of health centres ­ these were certainly not in my experience where I used to live..."

Generalmente, go for it significa mettercela tutta. L'esclamazione go for it è un incitamento, del tipo: forza, coraggio!

Ecco una definizione:
go for it (informal)
To expend all one's strength and resources toward achievement of an end or purpose.

e' il non-plus-ultra


Explanation:
Having a lot going on or for means to be really great, exceptional, hip etc.
Essere il non-plus-ultra esprime questo concetto anche essere il top (tanto per restare in tema di linguaggio mediatico stile Grande Fratello).
Spero che questa frase ti sia d'aiuto.
