You won't have to demonstrate "amazing achievements" to get attention at a good MIM program. Your GMAT and a solid vision for your future coupled with your work experience in the manufacturing industry could be enough to get in for sure. The key will be in passionately articulating what kind of business you'd like to run and why. Your age may call to question your maturity, but if you have a mature outlook and perspective in your application there should be no reason why you couldn't pick and choose from MIM programs that appeal to you.
