(CNN) -- Agatha Achindu's life-changing career move started out simply enough -- she wanted a healthy baby. Cameroon native Agatha Achindu started Yummy Spoonfuls to give her child healthy choices. More than three years later, that passion is a profession for the native of Cameroon. She runs an organic baby food company, which is winning raves from some consumers and, even in a tough economy, has started to earn her a steady income. "I had a very hard time getting pregnant, and so when I got pregnant, I said I was just going to do everything right, which means the freshest foods for my child," said Achindu, 42, who lives and works in Marietta, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta.
