Does "go for it anyway" mean the same as "try it anyway" or "do it anyway"?

"Go for it anyway" means to "try it anyway". When we say to "go for something" it generally means to use the necessary effort or energy to do something, especially in the face of any doubt or worry. In other words, to try. Usually it is used as a way to encourage someone or yourself. Ex: A: I want to ask Emily out on a date, but I'm scared she'll say no. B: Just go for it! You'll never know unless you ask! Ex: I don't know if we can win today, but I still want to go for it.
