forte factum
Lit., 'a brave deed or act' The context seems to refer to something already undertaken; otherwise I would go with Brigitte's rendering.

audacter/audenter fecisti/(per)egisti
Another option is to use an adverb modifying the verb of "doing, accomplishing" (thence the past of "facio","ago", while the form "peregisti" should be used if the action is fully accomplished and over).
If the action is still being done, meaning "you started and are doing something brave", then you want to use a present "facis" "agis".
Since one of the adjective you wrote is "gutsy" I opted for "audacter", "audenter", both conveying a stronger meaning than "animose".
