BoraPhoenix has a good point. I'm sure everybody has noticed that once a person has learned something or gotten used to a certain method, change can be very difficult. Especially if they learned it from someone they look up to who is successful like a mentor. Often times, we have trouble going against those influences even if we know for sure we're right in certain situations. Having an open mind, the ability to adapt and overcome new conditions is a very important to a trader. I think a mentor is important in learning the systems and nuances of the market, but the confidence in one's own ability can only be learned by the individual thru experience, and not a mentor...
